how do you make it so proftpd will allow users to ftp in who have uid=0?
i know its dangerous

but i just want to see how its done.

does anyone know?

so basically

say

username: root2
root2:x:0:0:root:/home/root2:/bin/bash

how can i make it so that username can ftp in?

When I installed it, it allowed you to do that right away :\

so nobody knows eh?

Have you tried:

RootLogin on

In your proftpd.conf?

I was kind of under the impression that root can't log in on FTP because 'root' is listed in the /etc/ftpusers file. Just like if you were to allow anonymous users access via FTP by removing the user 'ftp' from that file (along with uncommmenting the anonftp sect. of proftpd.conf), so would you remove 'root' from that file (both of which I would highly discourage). Maybe that is what you were looking for.
