[comp.unix.questions] Turning off Anonymous FTP

odin@ucscb.UCSC.EDU (Jon Granrose) (10/24/89)

	I have had a few people ask me what exactly is involved in turning
anonymous FTP on/off.  I always assumed it was something to do with the ftpd
but I never really bothered to find out.  Can someone mail me with what exactly
is involved?  Thanks.

I was always under the impression that all you have to do is delete the
user "anonymous"...

No, you delete the user "ftp"
