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.
so far so good. But I don't know how to create the AuthUserFile itself.
why don't you use the program 'htpasswd', afaik it's delivered with apache. htpasswd makes a file with a username&password-File. this files contains in each line one user. It's build like the /etc/passwd: username:passwd:uid:gid:comments:Home-dir:shell but with htpasswd, you've only the 1st and 2nd entry, the others have to be edited by you. that's the way I do it...
