My original question was -
> I am in the process of setting up a machine for anonymous FTP. I know
> how to setup a basic anonymous ftp account, but what I would like to know
> is there anything I should look out for. I would like to do a reverse
> name lookup to map IP addresses to real names, log users, and limit the
> number of users at any one time. Any ideas on how to accomplish my
> goals. I have used ftp sites that incorporate all of the features I have
> mentioned, but I don't know how to setup such a site.

The answer was unanimous - get the wuarchive version of ftpd. I was able
to get a copy from ftp.uu.net, another suggested source was wuarchive.wustl.edu
in /packages/wuarchive-ftpd.

Thanks for the quick response
