Involves the manpage.

Hello bug-followup,

  This is actually not described in ftpchroot manual page, but in
  ftpd.conf(5). I'm not sure if the described steps work though. The
  main problem is that the ftpd.conf(5) belongs to lukemftpd, which is
  contributed software from NetBSD and if the described process does
  not work, there is not much we can do about it. We don't usually
  modify contributed files. I would rather recommend you to address
  this to NetBSD team, if this is the case.

No, because the problem is that the documentation is correct on NetBSD.  The
problem arises because we have two different ftpd implementations that
conflict badly.

Personally I think that we should remove lukemftpd from the tree, or at
least strongly urge the maintainer to correct these conflicts on import.
Unfortunately there's not a good history of any response to this matter.

That must be wonderful!  I don't understand it at all.

I believe this was fixed with the latest import of lukemftpd 
please report to me when I thought that incorrectly (checked 
the manual pages so it -should- be fixed).
