pure-ftpd for Debian
--------------------

Please note that these packages use a complete new configuration scheme,
read the pure-ftpd-wrapper manual page for more information.

pure-ftpd for Debian is provided in 4 flavours: vanilla (pure-ftpd),
MySQL (pure-ftpd-mysql), PostgreSQL (pure-ftpd-postgresql) and LDAP
(pure-ftpd-ldap). The pure-ftpd-control script invokes the init
script for the installed flavour.

Each flavour comes with two binaries, one with support for virtual
chroots and one without, e.g. /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd-virtualchroot
and /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd. You can select which binary is called by the
init script via debconf or by editing /etc/default/pure-ftpd-common.

The location of the file with the directory aliases is 
/etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd-dir-aliases.

Using PureDB
------------

Initialize the database with at least one user:

pure-pw useradd www -u 1000 -g 1000 -d /www
pure-pw mkdb

Create symlink to add PureDB to authentication methods:

cd /etc/pure-ftpd/auth
ln -s ../conf/PureDB 50pure

Disable PAM authentication unless you need it:

echo no > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/PAMAuthentication

Restart PureFTPd with the corresponding init script
for your selected Debian package (usually /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd).
