I considered suggesting anonftpd (or Ranum's aftpd, which has more traditional messages). I did not because a lot of people want to be able to ftp inwards, and the anon only option seems a bit more restrictive than is freebsd's bent. I wouldn't oppose it as long as the docs suggested an upgrade path of (a/anon) -> logdaemon -> WUftpd as need for capabilities increases.
