Re: [suse-security] password files for proftp

I got this from http://www.proftpd.net/docs/complex-virtual.conf

AuthUserFile /where.ever.you.want.to.stick.it AuthGroupFile /where.ever.you.want.to.stick.it

What _I_ prefer to do is create a directory, let's call it /var/domains. Because I host multiple domains, I put the auth files in /var/domains with the name , and then create a dir in /var/domain/(domain name). It keeps it neat and tidy for me if I ever need to find anything related to the domain.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

Use LDAP: http://horde.net/~jwm/software/proftpd-ldap/ What is mod_ldap? mod_ldap is a module for ProFTPD that enables ProFTPD to do password/UID/GID lookups from an LDAP database. It is a mature, stable module.
