proftpd

I don't believe my proftpd server is setup to automatically allow any server user to connect to it. Where might i go about changing this setting?

Thank you

check your proftpd.conf file, it should be set in there.

Failed to start FTP server : - no such group 'nogroup' - Fatal: Group: Unknown group 'nogroup'.

I'm trying to start proftp and now i'm getting that error.

Any ideas?

Thank you
Anthony

www.proftpd.org/docs/faq/linked/faq-ch4.html++%27nogroup%27++proftpd&hl=en]The default ProFTPD configuration file uses the user "nouser" and the group "nogroup", some systems / distributions do not have the group "nogroup" defined. The solution is to either add the group "nogroup" to /etc/groups or to change the "nogroup" entry in the proftpd.conf to a group which does exist.[/url]
