  14.   What keeps any person who can anonymous ftp from going down your
  15. etc directory and grabbing the passwd file?  Does ftp log this?  I
  16. know that some Unix systems use a chroot system to lock anonymous
  17. ftp users into a restricted section of the directory.  Do all
  18. ftp systems do this?
