Before, --auth-type had a default option of anonymous. That way unftp doesn't require any arguments to start up. But we figured this is a potential security hazard: Forgetting to set --auth-type, or making a type like --authtype would be disastrous. So this is now disabled. If you do not pass the --auth-type argument, unFTP will refuse to start up. If you intentionally want to run a passwordless FTP server, you'd have to pass `--auth-type anonymous` explicitly.
