Nobody set up a ftp server and leave the default config, so it doesn't
really matter if anonymous logins are on by default or not.
Incorrect. That should read, "Nobody SHOULD set up an ftp server and leave
the default config...". Unfortunately a lot of people who don't have a
clue do this exact thing, and allowing anonymous ftp logins by default may
be a security issue for these people.
I agree that a nice configuration utility would be nice and to just let
the admin edit the config to his/her liking, but leaving anonymous logins
off only requires an extra line in the release notes and a small paragraph
in any manual. I think this is a small price to pay for the potential
benefits.
