But it'snot /etc/passwd. It's a different file, only for FTP..br It means that you can easily create FTP\-only accounts without messing yoursystem accounts..br Additionnaly, virtual users files can store individual quotas, ratios,bandwidth, etc. System accounts can't do this..br Thousands of virtual users can share the same system user, as long as theyall are chrooted, and they have their own home directory..SH "FILES".LP \fI/etc/pureftpd.passwd\fP.br\fI/etc/pureftpd.pdb\fP .SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES".LP \fIPURE_PASSWDFILE\fPIf this variable is defined, this is the default value for the text passwordfile.
