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.....

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?***

Try this:
cat /etc/passwd
cat /etc/group

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.
