I've had a proposal to add a file like /etc/ftpusers that does the
inverse:  if it exists, only users listed in that file will be
allowed to log in via ftp. This seems like a good idea to me, and
to avoid confusion with the names, I've also had a suggestion that
we should remove /etc/ftpusers entirely, and have /etc/ftp.deny
and /etc/ftp.allow files instead.

Has anyone any comments on this?
