Get libcrypt-1.3 - ftp://www.lexa.ru/pub/domestic/sos/libcrypt.tgz and compile it. There will be a crypt.exe. Now call crypt like this: crypt where salt is an arbitrary string and password is the password you wish to use with ftpd. This will give you an encrypted password. Here an example: vzell:/tmp> crypt ksdkslkdsldkiow3sjhfjhkfjhsdf mypassword $1$ksdkslkd$tQ7S08xZbIXs6grxtWOlZ. Now copy the encrypted password in your /etc/passwd so that it looks like: vzell:$1$ksdkslkd$tQ7S08xZbIXs6grxtWOlZ.:544:513:Volker Zell:/users/vzell:/bin/bash From now on ftpd will use mypassword for authentication.
