Very Computer

I want to have an anonymous ftp capability, but with a password.  That would
give certain users access to a particular workstation but would severely
restrict what those users can do.  Is this possible?  Also...

What about those messages that many archive sites display when you anonymous
ftp to them?  Apparently they have .message files set up in each subdirectory
under ~ftp which are automatically displayed when the user cd's to those
subdirectories.  How can I implement this under AIX?

And can we log the users who ftp in somewhere without installing accounting?
I know with accounting installed, you have the "last" command available. But
is there some other way?

And (really asking for a lot I know) can we log the activities of ftp users
such that we know how frequently and to whom files are downloaded.

Thanks in advance.

Another option might be to try using the -l option when starting up ftpd.  
According to info/man, the -l flag sends logging information to syslogd.
I haven't run this in a while, so I'm not sure whether the logging done is
granular enough to meet your requirements.
