Security with chroot without special setup
No need for files (sh, ls...) in a chroot environment
Logging to wtmp and to a logfile or syslog

Running the server:

bftpd runs in either standalone or inetd mode.

If you want inetd mode

Add the following to your /etc/inetd.conf:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/bftpd bftpd

Give inetd a HUP or reboot your system. Your FTP server should work now.

If you want inetd mode with xinetd

Add the following to your /etc/xinetd.conf:

service ftp
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/bftpd
log_on_success += DURATION USERID

}
