>Description:
The manual page for ftpd lists the high port range as between 40000
and 44999, but these are defined in /usr/include/netinet/in.h as:

/*
 * Default local port range to use by setting IP_PORTRANGE_HIGH
 */
#define IPPORT_HIFIRSTAUTO	49152
#define IPPORT_HILASTAUTO	65535

>How-To-Repeat:
	man ftpd
>Fix:
	Correct portrange, also mention that the port range can be
changed with sysctl(8).
