No.  /usr/share/examples/etc/ftpusers contains a list of users who should
not be allowed to log in.  The ftpusers referred to above (and indeed
ftp.conf.5 and this man page) contains a list of users who should be allowed
to log in.  There is a very important difference.

All of the man pages belonging to NetBSD's FTP daemon should be renamed so
that they don't conflict, because this is too confusing.  I recommend that
this PR get assigned to whoever does the import of the lukemftpd stuff.
