configuring ftpd

[rammu]

Hi i tried to configure ftpd. these r the steps i put in:


1. I checked for the ftp configuration files in /usr/newconfig/etc/ftpd/examples
2. I found the following files ftpaccess,ftphosts,ftpgroups,ftpconversions
3. In order to enable the ftpaccess file we copied those files in to /etc/ftpd directory.
4. I include the options in the /etc/inetd.conf file in the line ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd a l d
5. After that we re-compiled the inetd.conf file by the command inetd c
6. I checked the configuration by ckconfig command
7. I faced error in ftpusers

Checking _PATH_FTPUSERS :: /etc/ftpd/ftpusers
Couldn't locate the file /etc/ftpd/ftpusers

Checking _PATH_FTPACCESS :: /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess
ok.

Checking _PATH_PIDNAMES :: /etc/ftpd/pids/%s
ok.

Checking _PATH_CVT :: /etc/ftpd/ftpconversions
dn't locate it...
Don't worry, it will be created automatically by the
server if you do transfer logging.

Checking _PATH_PRIVATE :: /etc/ftpd/ftpgroups
ok.

Checking _PATH_FTPHOSTS :: /etc/ftpd/ftphosts
ok
How to rectify this problem.. plz do help me

/etc/ftpd/ftpusers is an optional file that you didn't create. The file contains users that ftpd rejects logins to. Typically these are users that use a restricted login shell. Some user that you may want to put in ftpusers:

adm
bin
daemon
hpdb
lp
nuucp
root
sshd
sys
tftp
uucp
www
