Robert what exactly do you want me to do? Work with the vendor to fix
things, or just pull everything off the vendor branch? Fine I'll do just
that.

I felt the wording was a little harsh to LukeMftpd and thus on LukeM. I
felt for developer-relations reasons it should be reworded a little. I
also thought shorter sentances was better.
I don't know why you are affended that Lukemftpd be called an alternate
ftpd. We have lots of alternat ftpd's that come bundled with FreeBSD --
wuftpd, proftpd, and ncftpd are two others.

Why?? It works fine for many and I've seen many installations use it
that find the "regular" ftpd *way* too feature limited for any ftp site
on the naked Internet.
