- By default the ftp server wants to put the PID files, which are used
- for counting the number of active users in each class, in
- /usr/local/daemon/ftpd. You need to edit pathnames.h and recompile to
- put the files elsewhere or create that directory.

- Remember that once an anonymous user is logged in, all paths are now
- relative to ~ftp. So, does ~ftp/etc/msgs/welcome.msg exist? Also,
- little nits like: is it world-readable, is ~ftp/etc/msgs at least
- world execute (searchable)?
