If the file exists, ftpd displays it and exits. If the file /etc/ftpwelcome exists, ftpd prints it before issuing the ``ready'' message. If the file /etc/ftpmotd exists, ftpd prints it after a successful login. Note the motd file used is the one relative to the login environment. This means the one in ~ftp/etc in the anonymous user's case. -- Best regards, Neill freebsd@nc.rr.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
