When I got my commit bit I have proposed to remove either lukemftpd or ftpd, because they both use very similar configuration files and the man pages are so much confusing. Unfortunately that has never happened. Somebody(tm) will need to take an axe and get the things right in the future... --=20 Best regards, Daniel mailto:danger@FreeBSD.org
