I do want anonymous FTP, but I never want to create an 'incoming' (world writable) directory. In the screen for "Anonymous FTP configuration", there is a field called "Upload subdirectory" which defaults to "incoming". I delete the word "incoming", leaving a null field. This seems like a logical way to say that I don't want ANY upload directory. However, the install process still creates ~ftp/incoming, and makes it world-writable. I consider this a bug, but maybe it's intentional. >How-To-Repeat: Install a system. (I just installed the most recent 4.1-stable release, so maybe this is already fixed in 5.x-current?) Note that I started the install by booting off the 4.1-release CD-ROM, if that is significant to how this works. >Fix: I have not tried to figure out a fix for this yet, but I wanted to write the PR while I still remembered it, and right after a fairly "up-to-the-minute" install... >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
