Hi James & All :)
Thanks for all the input (and some great points that I didn't think
of being the Professional Paranoid that I am! hehe)
James... to make sure I understand this... if I don't have the
account FTPGUEST, then anonymous FTP is not possible? This is the way
we want it on both our boxes...
Thanks,
Art "TGIF! " Bahrs

Hello folks @ 3000-l,
RE: FTP and Anonymous User Login
The full steps for setup of the FTPGUEST account are documented in the
"Installing and Managing HP ARPA File Transfer..." reference manual.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Optional Configuration
The optional configuration changes for FTPSRVR support anonymous logon.
To support anonymous FTP, certain system administrative tasks have to
be done. These are essential for system security.
FTPGUEST account and user, named USER under the FTPGUEST account should
be created:
:NEWACCT FTPGUEST,USER
If this account and user already exist, proceed to step 2.
Assign passwords to FTPGUEST account and USER:
:ALTACCT FTPGUEST;PASS=ANYPASS
:ALTUSER USER.FTPGUEST;PASS=ANYPASS
The capability list for the account FTPGUEST should be AL, AM, GL, IA,
ND,
SF:
:ALTACCT FTPGUEST;CAP=AL,AM,GL,IA,ND,SF
The capability list for the group PUB under FTPGUEST should be IA:
:ALTUSER PUB.FTPGUEST;CAP=IA
The capability list for the user USER under FTPGUEST should be IA, SF,
ND:
:ALTGROUP USER.FTPGUEST;CAP=IA,SF,ND
The configuration of an anonymous logon is not required and can be
implemented
or not, on a system by system basis, by simply not building the
"FTPGUEST"
account on systems where an anonymous logon is not required.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

One note to the above is I am working out a bug with the:
ALTUSER USER.FTPGUEST;PASS=ANYPASS
... which is in a extremely convoluted part of the FTP code (yaw, I have
not
figured it out yet), so it is best to only specify an account password:
ALTACCT FTPGUEST;PASS=ANYPASS
... at this point in time.
