Copyright 1999-2000 Max-Wilhelm Bruker. bftpd is distributed under the
terms of the GPL, as found in the file COPYING.

bftpd is an FTP daemon for Linux. It also compiles on BSD/OS and DG-UX.
(I don't know if it runs on other systems, please mail me if you have tried
it). It runs in inetd mode.
If you want to install it, type:
./configure; make install
Then add the following to your /etc/inetd.conf:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/bftpd bftpd
all in one line. Give inetd a HUP or reboot your system. Your FTP server
should work now.
You can manage the users simply by editing /etc/passwd and, if your system
supports it and you enabled it in the config file, /etc/shadow. Any user
existent in /etc/passwd can connect to the FTP server if he has a usable
password.
Please mail me if something doesn't work. I would appreciate if you mailed
me anyway, because I'd like to know if someone wants to have my software.
