On RaQ4s the anonymous user should be able to log in as either anonymous
or guest.

Is your RaQ up-to-date?  If so, and your anonymous users still can't log
in as anonymous, try removing and then reinstalling anonymous ftp access
(be sure to save everything in your anonymous ftp directory chain first;
otherwise the RaQ will delete it when you remove anonymous ftp access).

If it still doesn't work, then look at you /etc/proftpd.conf file; it
should have a section something like this...

<VirtualHost 63.108.93.101>
        DefaultRoot             / admin
        DefaultRoot             ~/../.. site-adm
        DefaultRoot             ~ !site-adm
        AllowOverwrite          on
        DisplayLogin            .ftphelp
        <Anonymous /home/sites/site5/ftp>
          User                          SITE5
          Group                         ftp
          UserAlias                     anonymous SITE5
          UserAlias                     guest SITE5
          MaxClients                    10
          <Directory *>
            <Limit WRITE>
              DenyAll
            </Limit>
          </Directory>
          <Directory /home/sites/site5/ftp/incoming>
            Umask                       002
            <Limit STOR>
              AllowAll
            </Limit>
           <Limit READ>
              DenyAll
            </Limit>
          </Directory>
        </Anonymous>

Note that there are two UserAlias entries for SITE5; both anonymous and
guest are listed.
