NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     ftpusers -- file which lists users who are not allowed to use ftp

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     /etc/ftpusers is used by ftpd(8); the file contains a list of users who
     are not allowed to use the ftp command. For security reasons at least
     users like ``root'', ``bin'', ``uucp'' and ``news'' should be listed in
     this file.  Blank lines and lines beginning with `#' are ignored.

     Note: a lines with `#' in the middle is not a comment. Don't put `#'
     after a name to comment it; use another line, or things will silently
     fail on you.
