>Description:
The kftpd supports anonymous login, but is based on rather old
code, and does not have the features to support this well. The WU-FTPD
and the logdaemon ftpd are both better options.

This patch allows a site to force non-support of anonymous
FTP even if a host is mis-configured by either its owner or
an intruder.

This is a simple way to add defense in depth. Also, anonymous login
attempts to a Kerberos FTP server in fall-back mode might be a good tripwire.

>How-To-Repeat:
Use kftp and log in as anonymous or ftp.
