    The script has been fixed; flags are now passed correctly to ftpd(8) when it's run as a standalone daemon and not invoked by inetd(8).

    ftpd is normally started from inetd:
    ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l
    So a startup script is not really needed. Do you suggest to add one so that inetd is not necessary ?

    (In reply to Kurt Jaeger from comment #2)
    As far as I can tell, running ftpd(8) as a standalone daemon was likely possible since its introduction in the base system. Why would it be forbidden after ftpd(8) was removed from the base?

    Sane daemon startup script.

    Patch to the ports tree.
    When the ftpd daemon was in the base system, it was possible (at least
    since 2006) to run it as a standalone daemon without inetd. Make this
    possible for the port as well.
