DetailsHi, the current package for Pure-FTPd is built without support for virtual (aka not /etc/passwd based) users.
As this is a very convenient feature, especially in production environments, I think it would be important to support it. In addition, I noticed that the package is provided with neither a default configuration file nor an init script, so the user has to write its own line in /etc/rc.local with all the necessary options. This is not comfortable and convenient, too. For all this reasons, I hereby propose a new version of the package supporting all of the above. Please find attached: - a modified PKGBUILD (please let me know if you prefer a patch against the current one and I'll provide it); - a default configuration file (as provided in the upstream distribution); - a tiny Perl tool to parse the configuration file and start the server with the correct options (as provided in the upstream distribution); - an Arch-style init script (written by me). Hope this will provide all users with a better experience with Pure-FTPd. :-) |

--with-pam Enable PAM support (default=disabled)
I think this is a nice addition to support every kind of authentication. With my current pam_ldap/nss_ldap setup I have almost everything working against PAM (yes, I am aware that nss_ldap registers users on the system, but not putting pam_ldap.so in various services doesn't enable them).
