I had an ugly time trying to do an anonymous ftp install of cooker to a cooker box.
I added the suggested directives from the faq in /usr/share/doc/proftpd... and fixed the user and group names to match those set up by cooker. An anonymous login fails. [tarvid@dhcp-4-244 tarvid]$ ftp localhost Connected to localhost.localdomain. 220 ProFTPD 1.2.5 Server (hans) [dhcp-4-244.ls.net] 500 AUTH not understood. 500 AUTH not understood.
