## DESCRIPTION
       _/etc/ftpusers_ is used by [_proftpd_(8)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/proftpd/8/markdown); the file contains a list of users who are not allowed to
       use the ftp command. For security reasons at least users like ``root'', ``bin'', ``uucp'' and
       ``news''  should  be  listed  in this file.  Blank lines and lines beginning with `#' are ig‐
       nored.

       Note: a lines with `#' in the _middle_ is _not_ a comment. Don't put `#' after a name to  comment
       it; use another line, or things will silently fail on you.
