That's an interesting intertwingle (in case that is not a proper
english word: the messy combination of two big plants growing against
the wall) of projects...
man lukeftpd gives:
FTPD(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual FTPD(8)
NAME
ftpd -- Internet File Transfer Protocol server
[...]
FreeBSD 6.2 August 4, 2005 FreeBSD 6.2
man ftpd givess:
FTPD(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual FTPD(8)
NAME
ftpd -- Internet File Transfer Protocol server
[...]
FreeBSD 6.2 January 21, 2006 FreeBSD 6.2
I'm not yet sure on how to resolve this...
Except by mentioning that ports/ftp/lukemftp is about to be axed
in favour of ports/ftp/tnftp, which might be outdated based on the
contents of the mastersite:
-r--r--r-- 1 1101 netbsd 313915 Jun 25 2005 tnftp-20050625.tar.gz

What is wisdom these days....
