Default account setup provides anonymous FTP...

Is there any way to set cpanel to create accounts by default without anonymous ftp access?

I\'ve removed the anonymous ftp section of cpanel, but anonymous access is setup by default by WHM so I have to edit proftpd.conf manually everytime an account is setup.

yeah, I\'ve already removed the default anoymous account, but when a new account is created, that account is by default setup to allow anonymous ftp access. To disable it I have to comment out the anonymous directive for every virtualhost entry in proftpd.conf

I suggest switching to pure-ftp and turning of Anonymous ftp acces via WHM. Pure-ftp is much faster then proftp and uses less system resources.

If I remember correctly, you can disable it globally under WHM.

I've disabled the setting for anonymous ftp in WHM, but when a reseller creates a user account, it still gets anonymous ftp access. Do resellers have to make some configuration change too, or is this just standard behaviour of WHM? And can I someway disable anonymous ftp access by default ?
