>Organization:
RPI ; Troy, NY
>Environment:

	Just doing an install on a new PC, any PC

>Description:

	During the installation process, one has the option of enabling
	anonymous FTP.  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...
