	Only root can use FTP. If anybody else tries it, the terminal gets :

	{date time} wombat syslog : Auditproc : Not owner

	Console gets :

	Message from syslogd@wombat at {date time}
	wombat syslog : ftp : auditproc : Not owner

	Now, it seems permissions are wrong on something (auditproc?), but I
	can find it anywhere. Does ftp requires the suid bit on?

	Any/all sugestions very appreciated.

	Keep on AIXing...
