Log it once at the beginning of the session instead. OTOH, log wd each
time for the sake of better auditing and consistent log format.

add the working directory pathname to the log message if any of
such arguments isn't absolute. This has advantage over the old
way of logging that an admin can see what users are actually trying
to do, and where. The old code was also not too robust when it
came to a chrooted session and an absolute pathname.

The size_t type is better suited for that, particularly because
the "blksize" argument is to be passed to malloc() and read().
On 64-bit archs it's more to a style issue, but the good style
of coding in C is also important.
Previously logxfer() used to record bogus pathnames to the log
in some cases, namely, when cwd was / or "name" was absolute.

that the creation of a PAM context has failed.
N.B. This does not apply to pam_strerror() in RELENG_4, it
will mishandle a NULL "pamh".

instead of the disk size of the file sent. Since the log file
is intended to provide data for anonymous ftp traffic accounting,
the disk size of the file isn't really informative in this case.

Do not unconditionally fork() after accept(). accept() can
return -1 due to an interrupted system call (i.e. SIGCHLD).
If we fork in that case ftpd can get into an
accept()/SIGCHLD/fork/[fail]/repeat loop.

It is not a mere issue of style: Null pointers in C
seem to have been mistaken one way or another quite often.

like matching anonymous FTP data traffic with a single ipfw(8)
rule:
ipfw add ... tcp from any to any uid ftp
Note that the control connection socket still belongs to the
user ftpd(8) was started from, usually root.

says they may not modify existing files through FTP.
Renaming a file is effectively a way to modify it.
For instance, if a malicious party is unable to delete or overwrite
a sensitive file, they can nevertheless rename it to a hidden name
and then upload a troyan horse under the guise of the old file name.
