Hi,

I just installed a ftp server (pure-ftpd under uptodate debian sarge)
It works fine, system users are authenticated through PAM, virtual users through puredb.

I've got a ntfs partition, which is mounted on /home/alex/ntfs_mount.
The partition is read-only, mounted wth the right user's UID :

alex@machine# ls -ld /home/alex/ntfs_mount
dr-x------ alex users /home/alex/ntfs_mount

I've got samba running, can access to this directory and can copy files from it.

However, when logging with username alex through ftp, every file I try to download from
/home/alex/ntfs_mount is empty.

I've tried downloading regular files (not on the ntfs partition but in /home/alex) and this works.

Since alex is a system user, he should use his own UID when logging through ftp, no ?
It seems to be what happens since he can see his files...

Well, if someone's got an idea...

Laz,
