Hello all,
     I am going to install wu-ftpd on a second  server with two hard drives
My senior admin was telling me to look into installing ftpd on the second
drive. The one that is not the root drive. Is there some truth to this being
the case?  Aside from applying the tarball upgrades, using
/etc/password, file ownership and read / write permissions etc. Should I
look to use my physical resources as another level of security?

Thanks 
Chuck
