Of course. I was not thinking of virtual domains but virtual users (aka
webspaces). ProFTPd was known to be the "best" by me ATM, because it was
the only one. But a first quick view on pureftpd makes me want to use
that instead.
Of course the first view can only be a quick look at website (actual?,
structure?), features and documentation (complete?) and pureftpd looks
much nicer regarding these facts :)
There are debian packages for it
(http://www.pureftpd.org/README.Debian), but I wonder why it's not
included into woody yet? :)
