I tried, but MySQL is Just Too Much for that box (it´s a lowly 486 w/ 32 MB RAM and already running at load 0.8++ most of the time[0]). Anyway, I´ve now got it (mentioning it here for the sake the search-engines): proftpd.conf: AuthUserFile /etc/proftpd.users AuthGroupFile /etc/proftpd.groups RequireValidShell no PersistentPasswd off User nobody Group nogroup DefaultRoot ~ proftpd.users: waldner:<crypt()-pw>:1000:1000:Robert Waldner,,,:/home/waldner:/bin/false et voila. 0: mailhub for ~ 3k mails/day, webserver for ~ 400 hits/day, approx. 1200 dns-queries/day. Man, I *like* the hardware-requiremnts of sane OSs. cheers, &rw -- / Ing. Robert Waldner | <r.waldner@xsoft.at> \ \ Xsoft GmbH | T: +43 1 796 36 36 692 /
