Sounds strange to me.  1st, nothing you change in
'master.passwd' will effect unless you run mkdb_pw.

Perhaps you should take a look at 'man ftpd'.  Anon
ftp needs strict directory setup and permissions.

I'm wondering if you think you need more room
on /var and were thinking of moving to /usr.  You
might ask the freebsd-security list for a resource
on a way to do this.  You might symlink the ftp
mountpoint to /usr, but you'd better ask security
experts first.

Have you googled on this?
