blaugh!

	i noticed this morning that my ftp setup has the incoming directory set to
writable, which means anybody can log in and pretty much dump whatever they
want on to my system.

	I have two questions about this:

	1. what does the directory entry

	drwxrwxrwt  .....  mean?  my incoming directory is listed as this, but i
don't recall seeing the 't' before.

	2. to prevent uploads, do i merely have to removing the incoming directory?


	any thoughts would be appreciated.

	thanks!

	marc.
