DESCRIPTION

       Virtual  users is a simple mechanism to store a list of users, with their password, name, uid, directory,
       etc. It's just like /etc/passwd. But it's not /etc/passwd. It's a different file, only for FTP.
       It means that you can easily create FTP-only accounts without messing your system accounts.
       Additionnaly, virtual users files can store individual quotas, ratios, bandwidth,  etc.  System  accounts
       can't do this.
       Thousands  of  virtual  users  can share the same system user, as long as they all are chrooted, and they
       have their own home directory.

FILES

       /etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.passwd
       /etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.pdb

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       PURE_PASSWDFILE If this variable is defined, this is the  default  value  for  the  text  password  file.
       Without this variable, /etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.passwd is assumed.
       PURE_DBFILE  If this variable is defined, this is the default value for the PureDB password file. Without
       this variable, /etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.pdb is assumed.
