 Hello again,

    I have yet another question for you. I have been trying to change
the root directory for anonymous logins with the ftpd server.  I have
run into difficulties though because I can't seem to find the config
file. I have changed the directorys in the passwd file and the
master.passwd file in the etc directory and grep doesn't show anything
else that has anything to do with ftp login in the /etc folder. I read
the man page and it said something about a ftpchroot file that could be
created, however, that seemed to require users have a password, which I
would like to avoid. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find much on
this with google or the freebsd site.



 The long short of it is, where do I make that change? I accidently
specified the wrong dir when I set up the system and I just want to fix
that. 


   As always, docs, urls, pretty much anything will get me on my way!
Thanks in advance for the help, I really appreciate it!


   Terry.
