I'd recommend that you ftp to cert.org -- they have a checklist for anonymous ftp and, since they're running their own anonymous ftp and are a likely target for crackers, it contains some good advice. Unfortunately, I can't locate my own copy right now, otherwise I'd include it here. But, I'd take a look at what they have to say. Well, as long as I'm typing, another thing I'd recommend is to use a non-stock ftpd that does better logging and access control. We're using the one from wuarchive.wustl.edu, which logs transfers and many other items (configurable) and also uses an access-control file that will allow you to disable ftp based on load, time of day, point of origin, etc. You might want to take a look at that as well. Good luck, John Wack
