Kris,
The SunOS documentation describes very clearly how to install
anonymous ftp. I don't feel like typing it over all, but it's very
clear and usefull. They of course write something about security
and so on, but their approach sounds quite good, and everybodoy on
the Internet uses it.
I'd suggest you use their techniques, if you need help, I'm sure
there are a 'googool' people who want to help you.

Success, Hendrik.
