Description
Petteri Räty (RETIRED)
![]() Those are two different things, and come, as you noted, from different packages. ftp user is the user for anonymous ftp and such stuff. proftpd user is the user with which the ProFTPd daemon runs, running it as root isn't good, so it had to be a user-account... The sample config file always stated it to be a "proftpd" user, BUT it never created it, so the "out-of-the-box-works" principle was broken, I simply fixed this by correctly adding that user. Again: it is an unrelated user to make the daemon work out-of-the-box in a secury way. Best regards, CHTEKK. |
