[GLLUG] Installing Pure-ftpd with Virtual user support

[Seth Bembeneck]

I did add a user, but when I try to ftp to the server, that user can't get
in.

I think it is because pure-ftpd is not compiled with virtual users support.
I have edited the config file to tell it to use the virtual user database (I
think the command is '-l puredb:/etc/puredb.db'.

I guess I should have stated the question "How do you compile pure-ftpd with
virtual user support on gentoo if I'm using emerge to install?".

If I download the source code and compile it manually, I can follow the
install instructions, but I like using gentoo.

Thanks

I assume it's the same on Gentoo.  You run `pure-pw useradd [name] -u
[real ftp uid]` to add users.

How do you configure Pure-ftpd to accept virtual users?

I read the read me file, but it is done from the perspective of manually
compiling it and running a ./configure script with the argument
-with-puredb.

But how do you do that when you use emerge to install it? 

I'm using Gentoo Linux.

Thanks,
