   Hello everyone! I'm very interested in "pureftpd" and installed the two packages needed through
   the package manager. But when following the instructions they don't have a clear method for Slitaz.

   (for example)

   * Step 1 (optional but recommended):

   Create a specific, unprivileged user and group called _pure-ftpd, without any
   valid shell. Don't use this for anything else, including FTP virtual users.

   groupadd _pure-ftpd
   useradd -g _pure-ftpd -d /var/empty -s /etc _pure-ftpd

   ***THIS IS WHERE I GET LOST***
   there's no way to properly do this via xterm, so how I can move forward?

   I tried...
   adduser -g _pure-ftpd -d /var/empty -s /etc _pure-ftpd

   ***BUT NO DICE***

   So have a good & I'll hear from you guys later........thanx.....

   Key Master

   As root in xterm:
   #adduser -SH _pure-ftpd
   Add system user _pure-ftpd with no shell (/bin/false) and no /home directory
   #addgroup -S _pure-ftpd
   Add system group _pure-ftpd

   cat /etc/passwd => list users
   cat /etc/group => list groups

   Thanks for the response!!!
   But I still have a problem....

   (entered)
   #adduser -SH _pure-ftpd
   #addgroup -S _pure-ftpd
   #cat /etc/passwd => list users

   (results)

   cat: can't open '=': No such file or directory
   cat: can't open 'users': No such file or directory

   ***WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?***

   sorry 4 the delays.........but I will try this, by the way I've been studying the "package manager" and found some nice apps! The more I use Slitaz the more I dig it! Linux is where it is!

   So. I don't know why do you have to create that user... I login with my user and that's it.
