The man page says (near/at line 58)

"If the file /etc/motd exists, ftpd prints it after a successful login."

should say

"If the file ~ftp/etc/ftpmotd exists, ftpd prints it after a successful login."

           --------------------------------
Also (near/at line 167):

"The file motd, if present, will be printed after a successful login"

should say

"The file ftpmotd, if present, will be printed after a successful login"

           --------------------------------
 Under the 'FILES' section:

 "/etc/motd   Welcome notice after login."

 should say

 "~ftp/etc/motd   Welcome notice after login."


>How-To-Repeat:

man ftpd

>Fix:

is this a proper way to fix?  just did a diff...

State-Changed-When: Sat Apr 15 00:02:37 PDT 1995 
State-Changed-Why:  
The man page has been corrected. The path should remain absolute (i.e. 
starts with a `/', as normal users should get it also, in which case it 
won't be in the chrooted ~ftp directory.
