DESCRIPTION

  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.
  Additionnaly, 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.


FILES

  /etc/pureftpd.passwd
  /etc/pureftpd.pdb


ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

  PURE_PASSWDFILE If this variable is defined, this is the default value for
  the text password file. Without thie variable, /etc/pureftpd.passwd is
  assumed.
  PURE_DBFILE If this variable is defined, this is the default value for the
  PureDB password file. Without thie variable, /etc/pureftpd.pdb is assumed.
