  I have also written a hack to allow anonymous ftp.  The reason normal
apollo ftpd doesn't allow anonymous ftp is the system call chroot()
fails under domain/OS because it can't hide //.
  Mine does things a bit differently than the version from Berkeley and I 
don't think it suffers from the above bug.  If you'd like to give my version
a try, ftp to the address below.  If anyone wants this version, I'll dig
it up and put it up for (anonymous) ftp.
