>Description:
In looking over /etc, I noticed several files that really should be
moved.  aliases* should be in /etc/mail.  dumpdates should be in /var/log.  ftp{chroot,hosts,motd,users,welcome} should be in /etc/ftp. I could argue for rc* being in /etc/rc, but I can't see that happening soon (:-).
>How-To-Repeat:
ls /etc
>Fix:
move the files; update the appropriate programs and docs
