If my regular users (created with adduser command) have ftp, then I'm
running some ftp daemon, right? How do I find out what that is? When I ftp
in, and then grep -ef | grep ftp, I see in.ftpd running. So, I want to add
an anon user...can I use my current setup, or should I look into one listed
above?
