The ftpd(1M) man page is correct.  It says:
	"Make this directory owned by the super-user and unwritable 
	by anyone.  The files passwd(4) and group(4) must be present [...] 
	These files should be mode 444."
The first sentence implies mode 555.

The example on page 8-21 in the Network Communications Guide also
uses mode 555.
