Subject:   which ftpd to use?

We've used wu-ftpd in the past and like it's virtual ftp capabilities.

It has a few shortcomings though:

  - can't write seperate xferlog files per user
  - allows a user to ftp to ftp.foo.com on a server, then log in as
    user 'bar',  subverting the traffic counting mechanism we use.

The man page for ftpd indicates that FreeBSD's ftpd can write 
seperate log files. What about limiting logins to a virtual host
to a user associated with that host or anonymous?

Could I have something like this in /etc/ftphosts?

ftp.foo.com joe:........	# User joe
ftp.foo.com ftp:........       #anonymous user for foo.com
ftp.bar.com fred:.......
ftp.bar.com ftp:.......

Where the anon ftp areas for foo.com and bar.com are different?
Also, if someone ftps to foo.com, will they be allowed to login as 
user 'fred'?

Thanks,

joe
