 Thank you very much. 2 issues still remain.
 
 1) Neither "man ftpd", no "man login.conf" mention existence of chfn.
 And /stand/sysinstall did not added class info for user ftp
 for me.
 
 2) Option ftpd -u ... is overridden from login.conf : either by ftp class,
 of by default class (which is always present). Then why option -d exists 
 at all?
 
 Thanks again, Sergei
