I can't offer any help with Proftpd, I always had trouble getting that one configured and working correctly, along with some concerns about security since a lot of my reading pointed out some well known security implications with that ftp daemon. If you are interested in installing pure-ftpd and getting it to work, I can send you a configuration file that with some slight alterations will allow you to grant anyone with a userid on your system access to ftp, or to easily add some additional users that only have ftp access. You can find more information about pure-ftpd at: http://www.pureftpd.org/ They do have RPM's for that ftp server with Mandrake Linux so you won't have to compile or search them down. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
