How do I turn off 'anonymous' ftp privileges?
 
Somebody must've enabled anonymous ftp on your machine. Usually this feature is not enabled (for security reasons). If you can't ask him or her you have to take a look to a sample script provided with every AIX installation.
It's /usr/samples/tcpip/anon.ftp.
Maybe you just have to remove the two users "ftp" and "anonymous" but I guess it's better to analyse the script deeply to understand the implications of your actions.

Hope this helps
Michael.
 
Anonymous FTP has been successfully disabled by removing user account 'ftp'.

Thanks for the tip!
