    If this is an AIX installation, and you have bos.samples installed, there is
    a script included that will set up anonyomous FTP access. Look in:
    /usr/samples/tcpip, and you will see a file called 'anon.ftp'.

    Take a look at wuftpd as well, it has additional features to control access
    and is generally more secure than the stock ftp. You can compile Wash U ftp
    from the source, or get the rpm (from the IBM linux toolkit website), or
    install the bullsite installp version.
