[WBEL-users] vsFTPd

[Jeff Maze]

No prob..  I wish I could take credit for that write up, but I can't..
Hahaha

I stumbled across that site while searching for how-to's for VSFTPD (when
RH9 (or was it 8) started using it exclusively)..  The author of VSFTPD
didn't have much of anything as far as documentation ("read the MAN pages")
and found the write-up at the link below very informative and easy to
follow..

The one thing I love about it is the banned names..  Use to have a lot of
anonymous, admin, etc. and this doesn't even allow them to attempt to send a
password..  "Sorry, your name is on the banned list, goodbye"..
