Patrick,
I had been using Wu-FTP and ProFTP on my server, but there were too
many security updates. I ended up downloading, compiling and installing
the OpenBSD ftp server. It's worked just fine. The only thing "missing"
is a dedicated /var/log/xferlog file -- however all connections are
logged into /var/log/secure, so it's not that big a deal. Also, I don't
allow anonymous ftp connections (with the OpenBSD ftp server you need
create a user 'ftp' and set up a few things).
Jason
P.S. oh, you may need to make a file for PAM in /etc/pam.d...
