Different User/Group

[wfx]

Hi,
First sorry for my ask in comments (have not see the note about that).
I follow the HowTO:
http://www.howtoforge.com/proftpd_mysql_virtual_hosting_p3
And all works fine (is a realy good HowTo)!

My problem is.
I cant find the way how to use a different user and group for a ftp user.
Example:
FTP User: daisy
Home: /home/daisy as
User: daisy and
Group: users

FTP User: gambit
Home: /home/gambit as
User: www and
Group: www

thx.

Are you referring to the ftpuser table? uid and gid must always have the same values!

[wfx]

I setup in ftpgroup:
groupname gid members
ftpgroup 2001 ftpuser
www 33 www

Then in ftpuser:
userid uid gid
daisy 2001 2001
gambit 33 33

i log in as gambit an create a directory "dada"
and then i look on it :
ftp> ls -l
200 PORT command successful
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list
drwxr-xr-x 2 gambit (?) 4096 Mar 18 19:10 dada
226 Transfer complete.

If i view it on the server i get:
root@philoctetes:~# ls -l /home/gambit/
drwxr-xr-x 2 65533 65533 4096 2006-03-18 20:10 dada

The group www real exist.
Please what do i wrong?

Maybe this is the point, referring from to and how?

uid and gid must always have the same values!
this looks right to me.

I meant that you must put the correct values into the ftpuser MySQL table.

[wfx]

Then in ftpuser:
userid uid gid
daisy 2001 2001
gambit 33 33

I use 33 for gambit with the result i post.

Ok. thx maybe it is not the way for me to go.

Please try a group ID above 1000.

[wfx]

the group with the id 33 is set by the system (distribution) real name is
www-data (for files under htdocs).

thx.
