>Description:
The telnetd man page mentions a -B option for bftp(1).
NetBSD doesn't have a bftp, and the -B option is #ifdefed out anyway.
>How-To-Repeat:
man telnetd...
>Fix:
The -B option _can_ be enabled in the telnetd source - I don't even
know what bftp is, or if it is any possible use.
If someone knows whether or not bftp is any use then I guess they
should decide whether to strip it out altogether, or to say that
someone needs to find it & get it into the core.
(I've just commented out the bftp stuff in the man page :)
