Hello Cl=E9ment, Friday, June 6, 2008, 12:20:05 AM, you wrote: > Perhaps it should be mentioned in this line that it only applies to =3D20 > lukemftpd ? It may be obvious for most users, but it wasn't for me =3D20 > since I didn't see "lukemftpd" anywhere in ftpusers(5) [nor in ftpd(8) = =3D20=3D > =20 The documentation of ftpds in the base system has been problematic for years and it's a known problem; however nobody has ever really tried to fix it. 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
