-.SH NAME
-ftpusers \- list of users that may not log in via the FTP daemon
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The text file
-.B ftpusers
-contains a list of users that may not log in using the
-File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server daemon.
-This file is used not merely for
-system administration purposes but also for improving security within a TCP/IP
-networked environment.
-.P
-The
-.B ftpusers
-file will typically contain a list of the users that
-either have no business using ftp or have too many privileges to be allowed
-to log in through the FTP server daemon.
-Such users usually include root, daemon, bin, uucp, and news.
-.P
-If your FTP server daemon doesn't use
-.BR ftpusers ,
-then it is suggested that you read its documentation to find out how to
-block access for certain users.
-Washington University FTP server Daemon
-(wuftpd) and Professional FTP Daemon (proftpd) are known to make use of
-.BR ftpusers .
-.SS Format
-The format of
-.B ftpusers
-is very simple.
-There is one account name (or username) per line.
-Lines starting with a # are ignored.
-.SH FILES
-.I /etc/ftpusers
