>Description:
According to ftpusers(5), "If the ftpusers file does not exist, all users are denied access.".
This appears to be incorrect. Since I can't find this feature in src/libexec/ftpd/ftpd.c, I suppose that the error is in the doc.
>How-To-Repeat:
- man ftpusers
- moving /etc/ftpusers to /etc/ftpusers.bak doesn't prevent user login
>Fix:
Remove the incorrect line from the doc.
