[NCLUG] Another simple FTP question

[dobbster]

A newbie question from a not-complete-newbie:

I still haven't completely disabled anonymous FTP, it seems.  I have
removed the anon-ftp RPM and ftp is in /etc/ftpusers (but not in
/etc/passwd).  The result is that bad guys try to anonymously FTP into
the system, and receive "anonymous FTP ok, enter email as password", and
are then rejected.  My portsentry logs show dozens of anon ftp attempts
nightly, which annoy me.  

This must be frustrating for them, but I still feel I'm missing
something extremely obvious.  How do I turn it off altogether, so that
when they enter "anonymous" it tells them NO immediately?  I figure it's
got to be something in /etc/ftpaccess, but I've read the man pages again
and again, and the HOW-TO's again and again, and I've done web searches
many times.

I've puzzled over this one for so long...  The answer is so simple... 
Please?

(I still haven't converted to encrypted FTP, because of what I call "The
Law of Motivation Conservation" - Just like you need a large force to
generate a tiny acceleration of a large mass, you need tremendous
hounding overcome the inertial laziness within a user.  Has anyone else
noticed this empirical phenomena?  Perhaps it could be modeled into
GNUton's laws of user mechanics or something.  Bad puns, never mind.)

P.S. I had 100% intended to make it to Panhandler's last night for my
first NCLUG meeting (I post so frequently I feel I have a moral
responsibility, plus I direly need to network with some folks), but at 4
p.m. I received a call from a friend whose HP Pavillion had bit the dust
for the fourth time in six months.  I spent the evening reinstalling
Winblows on it.  Which reminds me of another question: These horrid new
Pavillions seem like a nightmare for Linux.  Their sound card and modem
have drivers glued together; the on-board modem won't work without the
on-board sound card.  I guess this saves the cost of a $2 modem
speaker.  I've never successfully made the modem work on one of these
machines.  Any experience or advice?
