From: Daniel Feenberg To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, pi@nepustil.ne Cc: Subject: Re: docs/133468: ftpd.conf(5) mentions /usr/share/examples/ftpd/ftpd.conf, which does not exist Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2009 10:47:50 -0400 (EDT) The missing example file of ftpd.conf can be found in the examples directory of tnftp in the /usr/ports/ftp directory. It is very helpful for setting up lukemftpd, as it clarifies many abiguities in the man page. tnftpd uses the same configuration file as its predecesor, lukemftpd (which is the one included in the default distribution). It is pretty mysterious why lukemftpd hangs around 7 years after it was obsoleted by its successor tnftpd, which is maintained (by the author of lukemftpd) and is currently available at: http://freshmeat.net/projects/tnftpd Daniel Feenberg
