I followed instructions that were in the booklet that came with the cdrom set but it didnt seem to work and i didnt see anything on the webpage. Does anyone know how to do this? I tried putting ftp:*:99:99::0:0:FTP:/cdrom:/sbin/nologin. in my /etc/master.passwd file but when i try to install it says that it cannot find the directory. I have /sbin/nologin in /etc/shells and i have anonymous FTP access enabled on the computer with the cdrom drive. When i log in manually i noticed that it gives me normal anonymous ftp access. I did delete the original anonymous ftp access line in /etc/master.passwd. So how do i get this to work?
