Update on Auto_FTP Initial Vulnerabilities

In the 5th of October, 1999 Nightfall Security Group reported on several
flaws within Auto_FTP version 0.2. We are proud to announce that the
author Joshua Curtis, has made significant updates and improvments to
the utility.

Auto_FTP v0.03 now:

- Creates a random directory in a directory structure your specify to
transfer files from
- The program will now check auto_ftp.conf to verify that the owner is
correct, if it is not it will not send the file and will alert root
- You can define users who can utilize the program
- The documentation also includes on how to make auto_ftp.conf not
readable by everyone

Joshua Curtis is an example of programmers who take considerations very
seriously and who correct flaws within their programs in a reasonable
time and notify the public about it. Auto_FTP is now a program that is
worth taking a look at.
