vsftpd useradd uppercase...
Hey all,
Sounds like 'useradd' won't allow uppercase names...but I need an ftp user with uppercase user/password names....
Any suggestions? (Windowz works, but I'd like to not have to go there...)
Thanks!

username is not case sensitive, only the password is, so just add the user with a lowercas then when u use the account u can use a uppercase name

Hmmm...I didn't think of just trying that - wait, I think I did and it didn't work.
I got around the whole thing by adding the user, then editing the /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and /etc/groups files (made the user uppercase).
Seemed to work. I'll have to check that top part again though - pretty sure it didn't work....

It's an FTP appliance that needs uppercase user/password for mirroring. I've set up the mirror FTP on windowz currently to see how it goes - but I'm seeing problems with large files already (1-2 gigs). I think it's the appliance config itself, but I hope to know more by tomorrow (doing benchmarks overnight).
If I have time, I might try a linux mirror. We'll see.
