CONFIGURATION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

	User Infos
	~~~~~~~~~~
	To use the USER INFOs create a dir (e.g. <FTPSERVER>/var/xftpd/unfo)
	and point to it in the xftpd.conf.
	(e.g. unfopath   <FTPSERVER>/var/xftpd/unfo/)

	Messages
	~~~~~~~~
	To use the USER INFOs create a dir (e.g.  <FTPSERVER>/var/xftpd/msg)
	and point to it in the xftpd.conf.
	(e.g. path_messages   <FTPSERVER>/var/xftpd/msg/)


SCRIPTS
~~~~~~~
  	Check out the changed path for SITE EXEC scrips/programs (from 
	v65.something). 
        The WeekTop and similar things are currently done via Script tho
        there will be built-in support soon. 

IN CASE YOU UPGRADE TO v66 !!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	We changed the format of the files database to log more information 
	for the dupe checker. So you HAVE to use 'fixfiledb' to convert 
	your current data base into the new format. (All the additional 
   	information will be logged from the moment you use v66!)
	(Make a backup of your data base before using fixfiledb ...
	just in case ... you know :)


HELP FILES for xFTPd Clients:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	To let the users know about recent changes in using the deamon
	just make a help file out of the CHANGELOG. :>
	(The SITE HELP and SITE EXEC HELP will use a seperate file in 
	future versions to ease the change of it.)

UPDATES of v66
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	Of course there will be updates. We are not finished with the
	cosmetic stuff yet and neither with the sysop tools.
	So expect these in a few dayz. But always remember:
	'Causa mali tanti femina sola fuit!' (lat.)
        :)
