Bug#574924: RFP: oftpd -- A lightweight anonymous ftpd server daemon



Note that oftpd was removed from Debian nearly 5 years ago (Bug #332186), a
year and a half after the last release mentioned on
<http://www.time-travellers.org/oftpd/>. It doesn't seem to have changed
since. Please don't upload this to Debian unless you're willing to take over
upstream development and security support.

In the removal request, Matthew Danish wrote:

The same is frequently said of many ftp servers, as far as I can see...
whether they're *actually* secure is a different matter! vsftpd might be a
good alternative?
