Err, it's a user with administrative access, no password. And no
it's not in smbpasswd.

It does not correspond to anything. Those folder in /ftpusers/ are
all owned by different users (on Server 1). But we need a way to put
files in those folder from within our network (where we don't use
user/password logins anyway. windows shares are all setup to allow
guest access.)

If this is only for internal use (and everything is blocked via
firewall and iptables) and I have control over what happens where and by
who, how bad can it really be?
I DO have to keep the permissions on /ftpusers/ on Server I because
those are accessible by our clients, with their respective (unix)
user/paswd logins. It's a public server that they ftp into. However,
from there on, access to the internal network is heavily guarded.
