SuSE people read these list. If it catches their eye, they'll do something
about it. Although it's probably not a high risk scenario.
To specify a different location, you would have to change the ftp user's
entry in /etc/passwd, ie, give the ftp user a different home dir. Move all
the ftp dirs to that new home dir, making sure permissions are what they
should be. (if you have the source for wuftpd you may consider reading
through the docs on how to do all of this). And you may need to make some
changes to /etc/ftp*

Subject: Re: [SLE] FTP
I guess the question then becomes how do I specify a different location
for ftp access to write to?
As a side note, in installing the default rpms for ftp from the SuSE CD,
this is where the SuSE distribution is putting things. Even the sample
setup of directorys is put there. Is this something that should be posted
to the folks at SuSE and ask if they might reconsider the location where
the default ftp directory is set up? Or, would this be contrary to what
the FHS says is the correct location to put ftp? If not, how do I contact
the appropriate person or group and suggest the change?
Comments? Thoughts?
