I may be mistaken, but i think that if you remove the ftp entry in /etc/master.passwd (vi vipw of course) that anonymous logins will no longer work, but regular users can still get in. Source: ftpd man page... "6. If the user name is ``anonymous'' or ``ftp'', an anonymous ftp account must be present in the password file (user ``ftp'')." of course, in case i'm wrong, save a copy of that entry in master.passwd somewhere ;-) grep ftp: /etc/master.passwd > /root/backup.ftpentry Cheers, Mit :-----Original Message----- :From: owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG :[mailto:owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Frank W.
