>Description:
FTP is not functioning properly.  It works sometimes and other timeout under
the same user load.  I have reviewed the logfile and this is the only
information it contains:

Aug  7 14:03:10 www ftpd[96696]: www.s1.com FTP server (Version 6.00) ready.
Aug  7 14:03:10 www ftpd[96696]: <--- 221
Aug  7 14:03:10 www ftpd[96696]: You could at least say goodbye.
Aug  7 14:03:20 www ftpd[95979]: command: NOOP
Aug  7 14:03:20 www ftpd[95979]: <--- 200
Aug  7 14:03:20 www ftpd[95979]: NOOP command successful.              

Also, I have logging turned on in inetd.conf

ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/libexec/ftpd       ftpd -dll     

>How-To-Repeat:
Try FTP from a client.  However, It will work sometime and will timeout
at other time under the same load.

State-Changed-Why:  
There really isn't anything we can do with this report.  While 
I appreciate that you may well be experiencing a problem, 
thousands of people are using FreeBSD's ftpd(8) without seeing 
this behaviour.  That's notin and of itself a reason to close 
this PR, but a PR of this nature needs to prove that there is 
a problem with the software itself to the exclusion of local 
environmental factors. 

Please either ask for help on the <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org> 
mailing list, or submit a new PR that clearly demonstrates 
that there is a problem in the code and that this is something 
that somebody else in another environment could reproduce.
