I have been looking for a rather secure ftp-daemon. At the moment I am
using proftpd because I really need the virtual-user feature. With this
I can avoid the transmission of system-passwords via ftp. Any user is a
pseudo-uid in the proftpd users file. This is - in my opinion - a really
good thing for ftp because so you can keep you system users/passwords secret.
Anyway I would appreciate it a lot if I could switch to the normal FreeBSD
ftpd. Is there one way to get something like the virtual proftpd users
to run with ftpd?

thanks in advance
