Those anonymous ftp problems vanished here, after installing some
libraries in ~ftp/lib:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 233450 Sep 9 01:01 ld.so.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 1642348 Sep 9 00:56 libc-1.93.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 12 Oct 22 15:27 libc.so.6 -> libc-1.93.so

But actually I have no clue, if this causes any security holes. Maybe
someone can comment on this.

Hope this helps,
Markus
