But the 'login incorrect' error IS correct in that anonymous FTP connections
are being refused - from what I can see, any HTTP errors are unrelated, and
beo appears to be running normally in respect to loading anything else from
it over HTTP.  This looks purely like an FTP issue - has anyone checked the
proftpd.conf to see if there are issues with it?
