I have emerged proftpd and gproftpd and I did not have any problems. But, whenwver I launch gproftpd, it comes with a message saying it must add the name of who is running the server.
I can't choose any other user but "nobody". I accept it, but everytime it comes with the same popups.

Moreover, I can't add any user to the ftp. It comes with this strange message:

Code:

The system user was not added because uppercase
or language specific letters arent allowed.


my proftpd config is this:
Code:
ServerType standalone
DefaultServer on
Umask 022
ServerName "127.0.0.1"
ServerIdent on "My FTP server"
Bind "127.0.0.1"

I have created the 2 files it complains, that is: passwd and group. After creating the files, it didn't complain anymore with those missing files, but when I try to add the user, I get the same error.
The system user is created, thought, but is not shown on the user list of gproftp (I can do a userdel on the user I try to create).

This is driving me nuts!
