The man page says (near/at line 58) "If the file /etc/motd exists, ftpd prints it after a successful login." should say "If the file ~ftp/etc/ftpmotd exists, ftpd prints it after a successful login." -------------------------------- Also (near/at line 167): "The file motd, if present, will be printed after a successful login" should say "The file ftpmotd, if present, will be printed after a successful login" -------------------------------- Under the 'FILES' section: "/etc/motd Welcome notice after login." should say "~ftp/etc/motd Welcome notice after login." Fix: is this a proper way to fix? just did a diff... 97c97 < .Pa /etc/motd --- > .Pa ~ftp/etc/ftpmotd 254c254 < .Pa motd , --- > .Pa ftpmotd , 270c270 < .It Pa /etc/motd --- > .It Pa ~ftp/etc/ftpmotd How-To-Repeat: man ftpd
State Changed From-To: open->closed The man page has been corrected. The path should remain absolute (i.e. starts with a `/', as normal users should get it also, in which case it won't be in the chrooted ~ftp directory.
