Subject: Re: docs/133468: ftpd.conf(5) mentions /usr/share/examples/ftpd/ftpd.conf,
which does not exist

The missing example file of ftpd.conf can be found in the examples
directory of tnftp in the /usr/ports/ftp directory. It is very helpful for
setting up lukemftpd, as it clarifies many abiguities in the man page.
tnftpd uses the same configuration file as its predecesor, lukemftpd
(which is the one included in the default distribution).
It is pretty mysterious why lukemftpd hangs around 7 years after it was
obsoleted by its successor tnftpd, which is maintained (by the author of
lukemftpd) and is currently available at:
