State Changed From-To: open->closed We have two ftpd's onboard, one is lukemftpd and the other one is ftpd itself. The manual pages do not match and could reference things that are not there and things like that. as long as we ship two ftpd's, we will have this problem, we cannot fix it before. Thanks for trying to make FreeBSD better though! 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 |
man page mentions /usr/share/examples/ftpd/ftpd.conf in FILES section, but it does not exist Fix: either find and add /usr/share/examples/ftpd/ftpd.conf or delete the pointer from the man page How-To-Repeat: man ftpd.conf, section FILES
