Sure, but I would just classify that as the same
threat (or maybe less of) as #2:

2) who can sniff your ftp password and therefor even
access the files once they are on the server (sounds
like yes also?)

A local use might be even less of a threat than someone who has your ftp password. The local user can likely only see files that you give world readable permissions to, the ftp user can see everything you can see.

I see. In my case, I don't use ftp, but there are other users on the machine and the wiki.d/-pages are generally world readable. Not sure why though... maybe it's the default? Patrick?
