Place the FTP Home Directory on its Own Partition

An XCCDF Rule

Description

By default, the anonymous FTP root is the home directory of the FTP user account. The df command can be used to verify that this directory is on its own partition.

Rationale

If there is a mission-critical reason for anonymous users to upload files, precautions must be taken to prevent these users from filling a disk used by other services.
