Richard Walker (walrmath@fac3.anu.oz.au) pointed out a bug in my changes that allow anonymous ftp on the Apollos. The patched ftpd is available for anonymous ftpd in /pub/apollo-ftpd.tar.Z on ocf.berkeley.edu (128.32.184.254). This version should be imediately installed on all machines running my old version of ftpd; not doing so allows anyone to ftp any file on the machine (as opposed to only those in the ftp directory). If you didn't see my original posting the gist of it was that anonymous ftp used to fail on Apollos because the chroot system call was missing. I wrote a few lines of code to emulate chroot, setup anonymous ftp locally, and offered it to the world. -Sam Shen sls@ocf.berkeley.edu
