.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.LP 
Virtual users is a simple mechanism to store a list of users, with their
password, name, uid, directory, etc. It's just like /etc/passwd. But it's
not /etc/passwd. It's a different file, only for FTP.
.br 
It means that you can easily create FTP\-only accounts without messing your
system accounts.
.br 
Additionnaly, virtual users files can store individual quotas, ratios,
bandwidth, etc. System accounts can't do this.
.br 
Thousands of virtual users can share the same system user, as long as they
all are chrooted, and they have their own home directory.
