Hi,
in Panther Server there was the group GUEST. Where is the group GUEST in TIGER Server ? I can´t find it. It there a replacement for that Group in 10.4.1 Server ?
I need a group for pure-ftpd 1.4.4 for usual users that are only allowed to download files from the ftp server. They should not be able to delete or move, rename or change anything. In Panther Server these normal ftp users had the group GUEST. Now in Tiger Server there´s no group GUEST.

The problem is that only users which are in the group Admin can view any files in the ftp directory. But so they have admin permissions.
If they are in any other group their ftp directoy is emtp, they can´t see any files. On the file system they are allowed to read. Under Panther Server using pure-ftpd manager 1.4.3 everything was working fine. Hope to see a solution for this issue.

Make your own guest group.
