Make inetd re-read its configuration
3) How to enable anonymous login.
You can use SAM (or)
You can follow as bellow to creat anonymous user
1) Create a normal user account (user=john group=none)
2) Put /usr/bin/false as the start-up program.
3) The entry in password file might look like this :-
john:chus5tya:233:20:,,,:/home/john/./:/usr/bin/false
4) Make sure /usr/bin/false is also coded in /etc/shells
5) Create the file /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess and put in these lines ..
class all john,guest
guestgroup none
noretrieve /etc/passwd
6) do man ftpaccess if not sure about the format.
7) # chmod 444 ftpaccess
# chown bin:bin ftpaccess
8) Edit /etc/inetd.conf & add "-a" argument to ftpd
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -l -a
9) # inetd -c
10) Create these sub dirs and files
1) ~john/usr
# chown ???R bin:bin usr
# chmod 555 usr
2) ~john/usr/bin
# chown root bin
# chmod 555 bin
# cp -p /sbin/ls ~john/usr/bin/ls
4) How to enable local user login.
by default all local user enabled, unless if you ftp.allow or ftp.deny file under you ftp service
5)so i want major details for FTP administration
now days "ftp" & telnet has been rollout due security issues,
adminstration point "Nothing" much to say.
if one time configuration for ftp .. no need administration. easy and simple.
