As it stands, ftpd will accept the connection, but will deny login to ANYONE no matter their login (does not even get so far as to ask for a passwrd). To the best of my knowledge, the files that need to be modified are ftpaccess and passwrd, but I am unsure as to the format. Any info would be appreciated. thanks.
