No, because the problem is that the documentation is correct on NetBSD. The problem arises because we have two different ftpd implementations that conflict badly. Personally I think that we should remove lukemftpd from the tree, or at least strongly urge the maintainer to correct these conflicts on import. Unfortunately there's not a good history of any response to this matter. Ceri -- That must be wonderful! I don't understand it at all. -- Moliere
