This is linux-ftpd 0.15 for Linux, a port of the OpenBSD ftp daemon.

This package updates linux-ftpd-0.10.

If you're reading this off a CD, go right away and check the net
archives for later versions and security fixes.

Contents:
	ftpd		Daemon for the ftp protocol.

Requires:
	Working compiler, libc, and kernel.
	Supports shadow passwords. Does not (yet) support PAM.

Installation:
	Do "./configure --help" and decide what options you want. The
	defaults should be suitable for most Linux systems. Then run
	the configure script.

	Do "make" to compile.
	Then (as root) do "make install".

	Save a backup copy of any mission-critical program in case the
	new one doesn't work, and so forth. We warned you.

Restrictions:
	This version does not put ftp users in utmp; the utmp code is
	#if'd out. This means the -U option does not work.

	Keep in mind that the man page has not been completely edited
	for Linux and may refer to a few BSDisms.

Bugs:
	Send bug reports and whatnot to the netkit bug address, not to
	OpenBSD, as the OpenBSD organization doesn't have anything
	official to do with this port. Things will be forwarded if
	necessary.

	Be sure to send all correspondence in e-mail. Postings to netnews 
	will not be seen due to the enormous volume.

	Please don't report known bugs (see the BUGS file(s)) unless you
	are including fixes. :-)

Port information:	
	The source was retrieved from ftp.openbsd.org on 
		Thu Jul 15 19:38:16 EDT 1999

	including the files
		extern.h	ftpcmd.y	ftpd.8		ftpd.c
		logutmp.c	logwtmp.c	pathnames.h	popen.c

	These came from src/libexec/ftpd.

	The support files came from various sources, including
	OpenBSD's libc, NetKit 0.09, and sendmail 8.7.4. (8.7.4
	because it was handy, not for any particular reason.) Others
	were written for this port.
