NAME

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

DESCRIPTION

     /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.

EXAMPLES

     /etc/ftpusers might contain the following entries:

     #
     # /etc/ftpusers
     #
     root
     uucp
     news
