Adding ftp users?



        Hi, I have what is probably a stupid question. :).

        How should I add a "real" user to my wu-ftpd server? 

        I suppose I could just copy my /etc/passwd to the ~ftp/etc/passwd, but
is this secure? And will I have to do it again everytime I add a new real user?
I can't hardlink to /etc/passwd because /home/ftp is on its own partition...? I
haven't seen much about this in the relevant manpages and wuftpd FAQ. "adduser"
and "addftpuser" scripts don't seem to be much help either.

Thanks for all advice!
Timothy
