This file content: user:<pass_encrytped>:IDU:IDG:<home>:<shell> I did a script to add users in this file with htpasswd, but you can use makepasswd. My script add the user in passwd.ftp, create the home and set the correct permissions (IDU:IDG) to its. If you would like its I send to you. PS: My scritp is in portuguese from Brazil and sorry for my English.
