Bug 93785

Summary:	The man page for ftpchroot(5)/ftpusers(5) contradicts the man page for ftpd(8)

Description Duane Whitty 2006-02-24 05:50:03 UTC

ftpd(8) states that a user's name must not appear in /etc/ftpusers or they will not be allowed to login via ftp.  The man page for ftpusers(5)/ftpchroot(5) seems to indicate otherwise and suggests configuration format and options for ftpusers.  If a user's name is in /etc/ftpusers they cannot login via ftp.  The man page for ftpusers(5)/ftpchroot(5) as distributed in /usr/share/man/man5/ftpusers.5.gz seems to be incorrect for the the version of ftpd installed with the base system.  The correct file seems to be /usr/src/libexec/ftpd/ftpchroot.5.

How-To-Repeat: Follow direction in ftpusers(5)

This PR appears to be related to lukemftpd manpages, so hand it 
over to our lukemftpd maintainer. 

David, both ftpd.conf.5 and ftpusers.5 are off the vendor branch 
already, so it won't hurt to apply a trivial fix to them: 

s/Xr ftpd 8/Xr lukemftpd 8/ 

That would also close PR docs/44519.  Thanks!

No lukemftpd in the base anymore.
