most administrators when they create an ftp user give it a shell that is /bin/date or some other nonusable shell. proftpd will not let anonymous logins occur unless a directive is in the proftpd.conf file this fix is not a critical patch but will make the lives of sysadmins everywhere easier. How-To-Repeat: add an ftp user with a shell of /bin/date cd /usr/ports/net/proftpd; make; make install edit /etc/inetd.conf and change ftpd to proftpd and kill -SIGHUP it uncomment the anonymous section of /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf try to login anonymous to your new ftp server
State Changed From-To: open->closed Committed. thanks.
