YAST introduced the idea of permitting access to Users with Local System accounts. While an interesting idea for private access within a very small group or company, this is unworkable for traditional Internet use where you don't want every FTP User to also have local login access to the machine. The way the YAST FTP Server applet works now is very different than how FTP apps are supposed to be configured with minor upside (easy auto use of an available database of Users) but a major security downside (Usual FTP users should not have local logon access). This is of course different than Anonymous access where the User is not individually identifiable.. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
