Honestly, I have no idea. I never had the need to look. To get a
standard anonymous FTP server running under SuSE, I did the following:
1. Installed the vsftpd RPM
2. Edited /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd to change 'disabled = yes' to
'disabled = no'
That was it. When I wanted user support later, I just edited /etc/
vsftpd.conf and looked for a line that dealt with it. It's heavily
commented and all the parameters shows the defaults. In this case, I
just uncommented the line:
#local_enable=YES
There are quite a few options such as quotas and chroot'ing users and
controlling the anonymous user privileges and the like. I use scp
and sftp for everything major, though, so I've never gotten into that.
What specifically are you looking for, documentation-wise?
