Note that the control connection socket still belongs to the

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.

Rationale:
SIGURG is configured by ftpd to interrupt system calls, which is useful
during data transfers. However, SIGURG could interrupt I/O on the
control channel as well, which was mistaken for the end of the session.
A practical example could be aborting the download of a tiny file,
when the abort sequence reached ftpd after ftpd had passed the file
data to the system and returned to its command loop.

Get rid of using the "unix" macro at the same time. It was a rather
poor way to check if the system was Unix since there were quite a
few Unix clones out there whose cc didn't define "unix" (e.g.,
NetBSD.) It was also sensitive to the C standard used, which caused
unnecessary trouble: With -std=c99, it should have been "__unix__",
and so on.

This makes such natural commands as "MKD ~user/newdir" or "STOR ~/newfile"
do what they are supposed to instead of failing miserably with the
"File not found" error.
This involves a bit of code reorganization. Namely, the code doing
glob(3) expansion has been separated to a function; a new function
has been introduced to do tilde expansion; the latter function is
invoked on a pathname before the former one. Thus behaviour mimicing
that of the Bourne shell has been achieved.

This doesn't break anything since using sendfile(2)

separating its part around chroot(2) from that around initial
chdir(2). This makes the below changes really easy.
Move seteuid(to user's uid) to before calling chdir(2). There are
two goals to achieve by that. First, NFS mounted home directories
with restrictive permissions become accessible (local superuser
can't access them if not mapped to uid 0 on the remote side
explicitly.) Second, all the permissions to the home directory
pathname components become effective; previously a user could be
carried to any local directory despite its permissions since the
chdir(2) was done with euid 0. This reduces possible impact from
FTP server misconfiguration, e.g., assigning a wrong home directory
to a user.
Implement the "/./" feature. Now a guest or user subject to chrooting
may have "/./" in his login directory, which separates his chroot
directory from his home directory inside the chrooted environment.
This works for ftpchroot(5) as well.
