Bug Description

Binary package hint: pureadmin

It appears that pureadmin allows us to create users under reserved UIDs and GIDs. This apparently will not work, as anyone trying to log in will receive an error saying "530 Sorry, but I can't trust you". In the log, this error will be recorded: [WARNING] Can't login as [_______]: account disabled

See this (as well as the first comment there) for more info: http://www.paulooi.com/2005/12/19/pure-ftpd/

I hope that a fix can be released soon.

Workaround:

1. Let PureAdmin create the user and group with ID at around 100.
2. Close PureAdmin.
3. Change user id and group id to something above 1000 (e.g. "usermod ftpuser -u 1020" and "groupmod ftpgroup -g 1021")
4. Edit /root/.pureadminrc: Replace the values for "defaultuid" and "defaultgid" with the new values you just assigned.
5. Run PureAdmin.

You should now be able to use the user management in PureAdmin with the correct user id and group id.
