Running ProFTPD on 10.2
Authored by: wnowak1 on Mar 25, '03 09:47:45PM

I setup proftpd on linux many times and figured it would be a breeze with os x. I ran into a snag. After searching through documents, I cam accross an article that says to use root and wheel for user and group in the proftpd.conf file. After doing so, the daemon worked fine. Prior to that, I had nobody and nogroup and it didn't work, even though the accounts existed on my system.

I'm not sure about security using root and wheel, but thats the only way it worked for me. Suggestions welcomed.
