Hi, I need to setup an anonymous ftp server. I found in the Knoppix dox the following procedure to enable ftp:


rm /etc/hosts.allow
rm /etc/hosts.deny
/etc/init.d/inetd restart

passwd knoppix


In Knoppix 5.1.1 the command is /usr/sbin/inetd restart, not /etc/init.d/inetd restart

However, this would not set up anonymous ftp, right? To use it you would have to login as knopix with a passwd. I don't want my users to be able to modify whats on my ftp server though.

So, how do I set up anonymous ftp?

TIA,
