Hello,net/pure-ftpd creates the following user and group: @newgroup _pure-ftpd:642 @newuser _pure-ftpd:642:_pure-ftpd:daemon:pure-ftpd user:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin but then, /etc/rc.d/pure_ftpd has: daemon_flags="-A -B -H -u1000" so, with this default configuration, users below 1000 can't log in. Hence, if I create a user this way: # pure-pw useradd myuser -u _pure-ftpd -d /whatever # pure-pw mkdb I can't log in with it ("account disabled"), unless I use something like "-u600". Am I missing something about the purpose of the _pure-ftpd user here, or should the -u parameter in daemon_flags be lowered by default in the provided package?
I'm looking back at this and to be honest I don't even know why the port creates the user/group. I understand why the rc script is the way it is.
Stuart, do you remember why the user / group was added? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
