How do you set up an FTP user account?

1) How do you set up an FTP user account on a Solaris Unix box? Please show the steps (assuming I have root account access).
2) Where are the FTP user account information stored? For example: Unix user accouns are stored on /etc/passwd what about ftp user account where are they stored?

Thanks in advanced,
XZOR

Depends on the ftp server, but generally they are in /etc/passwd too. For an ftp only account some people add /usr/bin/true to /etc/shells. Then give the user a shell of /usr/bin/true. They can't do much with a shell like that if they telnet in, but ftp will work.
