 The missing example file of ftpd.conf can be found in the examples 
 directory of tnftp in the /usr/ports/ftp directory. It is very helpful for 
 setting up lukemftpd, as it clarifies many abiguities in the man page. 
 tnftpd uses the same configuration file as its predecesor, lukemftpd 
 (which is the one included in the default distribution).
 
 It is pretty mysterious why lukemftpd hangs around 7 years after it was 
 obsoleted by its successor tnftpd, which is maintained (by the author of 
 lukemftpd) and is currently available at:
