In Anonymous FTP, in the ftp user's directory are the following hidden
files:
-rw------- 1 ftp ftp 35 Sep 9 12:18 .bash_history
-rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 24 Sep 9 12:05 .bash_logout
-rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 191 Sep 9 12:05 .bash_profile
-rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 124 Sep 9 12:05 .bashrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 141 Sep 9 12:05 .mailcap
-rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 3761 Sep 9 12:05 .screenrc
Is there any security concern with any of these files? Should I chmod
them down to a more restrictive access? Should I remove them altogether?
