We were apparently not actually putting any access restrictions on
~ftp/installkits. I had mistakenly assumed that Matt Power had set up
MIT-only access restrictions on that directory, but he hadn't.
I've implemented access restrictions on ~ftp/installkits in the same
way net-dist does: you use the autogroup directive in ftpaccess to set
people who FTP from MIT to a group "mit-only" and then chgrp and chown
everything under ~ftp/installkits so that only people in mit-only can
read it.
(Access restrictions are important because we have proprietary
software--specifically, AFS--in the install kits.)
