The ftpd server as distributed with 4.2BSD just ignores what the anonymous
ftp:er writes for password. Several people has made enhancements to the code
to force a DNS address as password which in turn are checked up and saved
in a database. One of these changed ftpd can be found at funic.funet.fi if
you are interested in checking it out.
