I can't find anywhere in the A/UX 1.1 manuals where
setting up anonymous ftp is described. This is no big
deal -- I can still set it up, but since it doesn't seem
to be mentioned anywhere, it gives me the impression that
Apple doesn't want people doing it, perhaps because it is
such a potential security hole. But then, I can ftp to apple.com....
Or maybe it's just an omission. Any thoughts?

From ftpd(1M) 4) If the user name is ``anonymous'' or ``ftp'', an anonymous ftp account must be present in the password file (user ``ftp''). In this case the user is allowed to log in by specifying any password (by convention this is given as the client host's name). -- -steveg@umd5.umd.edu ..!uunet!mimsy!umd5!steveg "Ignore the message: 'ld warning: file /tmp/kernAAAa06386 has no relocation information' if it appears."
