	Hi, I'm still struggling to get ProFTPd going. On their user support list someone has told me: "I personally recommend that a new role account be created for use specifically by the daemon, a user ftpd, and perhaps even a group ftpd. Many systems that run Apache have a user www or user apache for use by the httpd daemon; similarly, a separate user should be created for the proftpd daemon." How do I do this exactly? I assume I use NetInfo Manager but I can't seem to give the resulting folder the right name etc. Hope someone can get me started... Thanks Simon London Uk
