As somebody else also pointed out, NO, the FTP server in the base
system is NOT in any way based on wu-ftpd.  You are perfectly safe
using the base system ftpd.

The wu-ftpd port was fixed at Wed Nov 28 10:52:26 2001 UTC, about
two days ago.  Later, at Fri Nov 30 06:24:54 2001 UTC (about 9 hours ago),
Andrey Chernov incorporated the vendor patch from the wu-ftpd authors.

Both of these pieces of information were obtained by looking
at http://cvsweb.FreeBSD.org/  :)

G'luck,
Peter
