Bug Description

At https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/ftp-server.html

Is say:
" By default vsftpd is not configured to allow anonymous download. If you wish to enable anonymous download edit /etc/vsftpd.conf by changing:

anonymous_enable=Yes
"

I just installed this and it is configured to allow anonymous connections, the default in /etc/vsftpd.conf is:
"# Allow anonymous FTP? (Beware - allowed by default if you comment this out).
anonymous_enable=YES
#"

I believe that allowing anonymous connections without realizing it is not what anyone wants!
