Nothing personal against proftpd - I've never used it. A quick scan of
security issues shows that it has had more than it's share (IMO).

It's always nice to use the tools that come with the system if you can -
just to avoid having one more thing to install on every system you
build.

If NetBSD's ftpd is lacking in some way, speak up, and someone may do
the work to improve it :-)
