 Hi,
 
 Ok sorry :)
 Perhaps it should be mentioned in this line that it only applies to =20
 lukemftpd ? It may be obvious for most users, but it wasn't for me =20
 since I didn't see "lukemftpd" anywhere in ftpusers(5) [nor in ftpd(8) =20=
 
 or the handbook ftpd page].
 I'm quite new to FreeBSD, so I may not have searched long enough, but =20=
 
 I think adding this note to the man page would help people like me to =20=
 
 figure out the difference (and not to pollute your PR db) :)
 
 Thanks for your time.
 
 Regards,
 Cl=E9ment
