oftpd is designed to be as secure as an anonymous FTP server can possibly be. It runs as non-root for most of the time, and uses the Unix chroot() command to hide most of the systems directories from external users - they cannot chane into them even if the server is totally compromised! It contains it's own directory change code, so that it can run efficiently as a threaded server, and it's own directory listing code (many FTP servers execute the system 'ls' command to list files). It is currently being code-reviewed for buffer overflows, and being load-tested.
