I'm new to this mailing list myself, and still learning the in's and out's
of wu-ftpd's various ways of being used and configured.  But, what I've
been doing is defining a unix group called "ftponly" in /etc/group and
in ftpaccess specifying ftponly as a guestgroup.  Then in /etc/passwd I
have ftponly users login shell set to the passwd command so if they telnet
or rlogin they can change their password, it exits when passwd finishes.

If you don't have AIX (the original poster didn't mention this) you can at
least start telnetd via the TCP wrapper and disclose telnet logins from
certain machines/nets.

I can't understand why a person will take a year or two to write a
novel when he can easily buy one for a few dollars.
