If you've got a ftpusers(5) that presumably comes from some ported software -- doesn't exist in the base system. There is pam_ftpusers(8) in base, although that doesn't seem to be in use by default. Traditionally 'ftpusers' was just a plain list of usernames or groups (indicated by a leading '_at_' character). According to ftpd(8) it lists the people *not* allowed access via FTP. However, other implementations of FTP servers have adopted the ftpusers file and expanded its capabilities in various ways, by adding some additional flag fields for each username. It depends on what ftpd you're using exactly what syntax is used there. Properly ported software should really be using /usr/local/etc/ftpusers though. Cheers, Matthew
