Virtual users is
a simple mechanism to store a list of users, with their
password, name, uid, directory, etc. It’s just like
/etc/passwd. But it’s not /etc/passwd. It’s a
different file, only for FTP.
It means that you can easily create FTP−only accounts
without messing your system accounts.
Additionally, virtual users files can store individual
quotas, ratios, bandwidth, etc. System accounts can’t
do this.
Thousands of virtual users can share the same system user,
as long as they all are chrooted, and they have their own
home directory.
/etc/pureftpd.passwd
/etc/pureftpd.pdb
PURE_PASSWDFILE
If this variable is defined, this is the default value for
the text password file. Without this variable,
/etc/pureftpd.passwd is assumed.
PURE_DBFILE If this variable is defined, this is the
default value for the PureDB password file. Without this
variable, /etc/pureftpd.pdb is assumed.
