o Remove the race between stat(2) & fopen(3) when creating
a unique file.
o Improve bound checking when generating a unique name from
a given pathname.
o Ignore REST marker on APPE. No RFC specifies this case,
but the idea of resuming APPE's implies this.
o By default, deny upload resumes and appends by anonymous users.
Previously these commands were translated to STOU silently,
which led to broken files on server without any notification
to the user.
o Add an option, -m, to allow anonymous users to modify
existing files (e.g., to resume uploads) if filesystem
permissions permit.

in the SYNOPSIS and DESCRIPTION.
Note that -l remains an ugly exception, to which no known rules apply,
since the specification of a single option multiple times isn't normal
standards-compliant CLI behaviour.
While here, mark AF_INET* and LOG_* defined values up with Dv.
-O, which limits the impact of the write-only restriction to guest
users.
*) The existing manual page's SYNOPSIS and option listing in the
DESCRIPTION are already horribly disordered. No attempt has been
made to fix this.
*) The existing source's getopt() optstring and option handling switch
are already horribly disordered. No attempt has been made to fix
this.
Discussed with: nik, -audit
preventing anyone from downloading files. In conjunction with -A, and some
appropriate file permissions, this lets you create an anonymous FTP drop
box for people to upload files to.
The more obvious "-w" flag is already taken by NetBSD's ftpd. "-o" was
available as an option letter in all three BSDs.
This allows you to determine if the file on the other side is the same
as the one you have without transferring the entire file to compare.
Needless to say, if the server end lies to you this check doesn't work,
but on the other hand, if it lies to you about the files checksum,
what can you trust from it ?
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Document the new -R (relax paranoia) option.
From NetBSD/Lite2: code and man page cleanups, Kerberos IV hooks
(relax, we're still exportable), and /etc/ftpchroot feature for
semi-anonymous accounts
accepting connections on the FTP port and forking children processes to
handling them. This is lower overhead than spawning ftpd from inetd and
can be a significant win on busy FTP servers. Be sure to disable ftpd in
inetd.conf if you decide to use this option.
These changes are based on similar changes I made to wu-ftpd and have
been in use on wcarchive for several months.
