     NAME
          ftpusers - security file for ftpd(1M)

     HP-UX COMPATIBILITY
          Level:    HP-UX/NON-STANDARD

          Origin:   UCB

          Remarks:  Implemented on the Series 300 only.

     DESCRIPTION
          Ftpd(1M) rejects remote logins to local user accounts  which
          are  named  in  /etc/ftpusers.  Each restricted account name
          should appear alone on a line in the file; the  line  should
          not  contain any white space.  User accounts which specify a
          restricted login shell in /etc/passwd should  be  listed  in
          /etc/ftpusers  because  ftpd accesses local accounts without
          using their login shells.  UUCP accounts should be listed in
          /etc/ftpusers.   If /etc/ftpusers does not exist, ftpd skips
          the security check.

     EXAMPLES
          Suppose /etc/ftpusers contains the following:

              Only lines that exactly match user account names are
              significant.  Blank lines are harmless because they
              don't match any account names.  However you must be
              careful.

              uucp
              guest

          In this case, ftpd will not  login  to  the  local  accounts
          ``careful.'', ``uucp'', or ``guest''.
