Subject:   Automated ftpd setup in sysinstall: security hole
Message-ID:  <Pine.LNX.3.91.960825184437.24852A-100000@phs.k12.ar.us>

After installing 2.1.5 and telling sysinstall to setup my anonymous ftp 
directories for me (the easy way out eh? :-)), I noticed that sysinstall 
makes /var/ftp/pub owned by _ftp_, not root like all of the other 
directories.

Isn't this a major security hole?  I just tried uploading a file to my 
/pub and then successfully deleted it, all from the anonymous account.

Who would I report this to?  security-officer?
