	The NetBSD ftpd is not based on wu-ftpd, though (like virtually
	every other ftpd out there it did suffer from the setproctitle()
	issue). wu-ftpd _is_ available via pkgsrc, though I've never had
	any need to use it - the shipped ftpd is more than capable enough.

	Henry's comment on checking the security page is well advised,
	though the 1.5_ALPHA and 1.4.3_ALPHA snapshots should be clear of
	all known issues...
