hi quick question. when setting up a new user using the ncftpd_passwd utility, if i leave the UID blank ncftpd automaticly gives him one of -1. this obviosly doesn't let him in and i have to manually assign him one. is there anyway for to have the ncftpd_passwd program automaticly assign the new user a valid UID.
