 >Description:
 	The ftpd man page, in the section on setting up an anonymous
 	ftp server, recommends setting ~ftp/pub world writable.  This
 	is a good way to end up with a disk full of warez:
 
 	    ~ftp/pub  Make this directory mode 777 and owned by ``ftp''.
                       Guests can then place files which are to be accessible
                       via the anonymous account in this directory.
 
 >How-To-Repeat:
 	
 >Fix:
 
         Change to read (or something similar):
 
 	    ~ftp/pub  Make this directory mode 755 and owned by ``ftp''.
 		      Place the files you want to share in here with
 		      mode 644.  If you want local users to be able to
 		      publish files here, create subdirectories for them,
 		      owned by their account and group and mode 755.
 		      Be sure to warn them not to make anything writeable 
 		      by "world", or your disk will end up getting filled
 		      with "warez" (illegal copies of software).
