BSD/OS 3.0 comes without any anonymous ftp set up out-of-the-box.
Configuration of anonymous ftp is provided by the perl script
/usr/sbin/config_anonftp (for those who don't just set this up by hand).
A problem seems to exist in the following lines of this script:

&copy_file("/etc", "group", "$ftp{\"DIR\"}/etc", 0444);
&copy_file("/etc", "pwd.db", "$ftp{\"DIR\"}/etc", 0444);

What ever happened to creating dummy group and passwd files for anonymous
ftp?  This script copies the full system group and pwd.db files where

Also true for BSDI 2.0, 2.01, and 2.1.
