The file /etc/nologin can be used to disable ftp access. If the file
exists, ftpd displays it and exits. If the file /etc/ftpwelcome exists,
ftpd prints it before issuing the ``ready'' message. If the file
/etc/motd exists, ftpd prints it after a successful login.

Ftpd authenticates users according to three rules.
1. The login name must be in the password data base, /etc/passwd,
and not have a null password. In this case a password must be
provided by the client before any file operations may be per-
formed.
2. The login name must not appear in the file /etc/ftpusers.

FILES
/etc/ftpusers List of unwelcome/restricted users.
/etc/ftpwelcome Welcome notice.
/etc/motd Welcome notice after login.
/etc/nologin Displayed and access refused.
