ftpchroot(5) claims to be the manpage for ftpd(8).  It isn't.  It's a
manpage that comes with lukemftpd(8).  Coincidentally, it seems somewhat
correct (it looks like the lukemftpd use of ftpusers changed to match
ours?).  However, it also states:

  If the ftpusers file does not exist, all users are denied access.

which is not true of ftpd(8).

I have not verified that the ftpchroot syntax is the same for both
ftpd(8) and lukemftpd(8).
