Proftpd is quite a nice server, but so far what I've read about Pureftpd it is much superior to Proftpd in security. I'd say we're both better off with Pureftpd, but I'll be damned if'n I kin figure out just how to configure for individual users apart from anonymous users. So far, I've noticed that Pure uses PAM for authentication which is awesome because you don't have to muck about with users permissions if they're already on your system. AND, if you need to add another user its spelled out rather clearly in the "virtual users" README setup. The part I'm a bit unclear on is how, without creating *new* users, we can setup "other" filesystems to make accessible to the ftp server without having to create a user that is connected to it. And I love the fact that it chroot, (jails) things by default, so there isn't any hair-pulling to get that taken care of. -- daRcmaTTeR ---------- Registered Linux User 182496
