Anonymous FTP is inherently dangerous to system security.
DEPENDENCIES
Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM)
PAM is an Open Group standard for user authentication, password modification, and validation of accounts.
In particular, pam_authenticate()
is invoked to perform all functions related to login. This includes
retrieving the password, validating the account, and displaying error messages.
ftpd supports only a single password, unlike the
login and passwd commands. ftpd will not work
properly if it uses multiple modules in the
/etc/pam.conf file.
AUTHOR
ftpd was developed by the University of California, Berkeley and the Washington University, St. Louis,
Missouri.
