[techtalk] Mandrake 7.0 - Anon ftp

[Phil Savoie]

Telnet works fine so is not an issue.  I have included anonymous in the
class line in ftpaccess and now have a different error instead of just
"login failed", I now get:  

[root at dell1 /home]# ftp phil
Connected to phil.
220 phil.pszone1 FTP server (Version wu-2.6.0(1) Tue Jan 4 19:41:20 GMT
2000) ready.
Name (phil:root): anonymous
331 Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password.
Password:  <me at them.com> (this worked ok on Mandrake 6.1 on my laptop)
530 Can't set guest privileges.
Login failed.
ftp>

Very frustrating... Very frustrating indeed.
