bsd-ftpd for Debian
-------------------

I packed a new port of the OpenBSD ftp daemon. This package is very similar
to "linux-ftpd", expect that this version of the port is newer.

I added debconf support to bsd-ftpd. Configuring should be as easy as
typing "dpkg-reconfigure bsd-ftpd". Most options can be set by debconf.
If you don't want debconf messing with you system, you can disable it
by answering "no" to the first question("Use debconf to configure bsd-ftpd?").

For the command-line guys, please read the information from Herbert below.
They are taken from the original linux-ftpd and apply also to this version 
of ftpd (most of what is descibed below can be set via debconf).

ftpd for Debian
----------------

ftpd now supports PAM.  It is recommended that you leave the pam_ftp entry
alone in the pam configuration file since ftpd uses it to figure out prompts
and determining anonymity.

The best way to disable anonymous ftp is to place ftp and anonymous in
/etc/ftpusers.  Removing the user ftp from the system also works.

If you wish to receive reports from users of your ftp server, you should setup
an alias for ftp-bugs@name.of.your.ftp.server.
