Here's how to add an anonymous FTP server to your DEC. If your 
home network is protected by a firewall, this is a good way to
move files around your house (faster than Samba). 

This package contains 3 rpms that must be loaded and then some
instructions for setting things up. Some caveats:
 * The wu-ftp rpm also generates some kinda "help" related file 
   error regarding a linuxconf dictionary - this can be ignored.
 * The 'setup' rpm will conflict with the installed 'setup' rpm 
   that is already on the DEC, so it must be forced. This attempts 
   to install new group and passwd files - but it names them 
   .rpmnew so it should be safe. 


WIDE-OPEN FTP environment
-------------------------

Here's how to install a wide-open anon-ftp environment. This allows
writing arbitrary files to the incoming directory (and creating new
directories), writing music files to the slurp directory (imported/tmp), 
and reading music files from music/ripped and music/slurped (depending
on permissions, ripped is normally 600 - change them to 644).

1. You should already have gotten the tarball file DECanonftp.tgz.  Put it in /tmp and unpack it with the commands:

     cd /tmp
     tar xzvf DECanonftp.tgz
   
   this will have created the following files:
         /tmp/anonftp-3.0-14mdk.i586.rpm
         /tmp/setup-2.1.9-22mdk.noarch.rpm
         /tmp/wu-ftpd-2.6.1-7mdk.i586.rpm
         /tmp/DECanonftp.README

2. Install the rpms:
     rpm -i wu-ftpd-2.6.1-7mdk.i586.rpm
     rpm -i --force setup-2.1.9-22mdk.noarch.rpm
     rpm -i anonftp-3.0-14mdk.i586.rpm

3. Change the home directory for user ftp
     edit /etc/passwd and replace ftp's "/home/ftp" with "/content"

4. Add an ftpadmin user by adding this line to /etc/group
     
   ftpadmin:x:96

and add this line to /etc/passwd

 
   ftpadmin:x:96:96::/content/ftp:



5. Copy the anonymous ftp directories to the CONTENT partition
     cp -R /var/ftp/* /content
     mkdir /content/incoming
     chown ftpadmin:ftpadmin /content/incoming
     chmod 777 /content/incoming          

6. Change the permissions for the slurp directory and music files
     chmod 777 /content/imported/tmp
     chmod 644 /content/music/ripped/*

7. Add access controls by adding this line to the file /etc/ftpaccess

     upload /content * yes
