Unable to add users to gproftpd


Hi all!!

I have emerged prpftpd and gproftpd to build up a FTP server. The emerging went good (only had to create group and passwd files). When I start gproftp it complains about it has to create user and group under ftp will run, I accept the suggestion (nobody), but the I can't add any users. It complains saying
Code:
The system user was not added because uppercase
or language specific letters arent allowed.
My config file is as this:
Code:
ServerType standalone
DefaultServer on
Umask 022
ServerName "127.0.0.1"
ServerIdent on "My FTP server"
Bind "127.0.0.1"
