How do you add domain names and give them ftp access in command line?

Note: There isn't a cpanel commands line for this :)

But on regular old linux:

useradd username
passwd username


That makes the account /home/username

You get to add all the fun stuff by hand :D

I am running freebsd. I get command not found

Im pretty sure it uses useradd, but might as well try adduser

also try searching, or man pages

I was able to do it with add user then I kept pressing enter. Now what? I want to add virtual accounts with ftp access. Do I just log in with the username and passwords I made? Cobalt and other GUI are good training wheels but I want to learn this too.

What do you mean by virtual accounts. They will have an ftp account, if your ftp deamon works off of the password file.

Which password file do you edit and how?

Again, it depends on the ftpd running. Some ftpd's use the password file, that would be /etc/passwd

but others have the option, like ncftpd, of using its own database. most by default use /etc/passwd

In FreeBSD, useradd, groupadd, usermod, and similar Linux commands are done using the pw command. There are no useradd (and such) commands. There is an adduser *script*, but it's interactive and annoying.

man pw

Good luck

erapid,

with due respect, RTFP ..he is talking of FreeBSD

How about configuring dns? I am using stargateinc and they offer dns servers. Don't I have to add them somewhere on my server?
Don't I have to point to the name servers somewhere?
