DESCRIPTION
       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.
       It means that you can easily create FTP-only accounts without messing your system accounts.
       Additionnaly, virtual users files can store individual quotas, ratios, bandwidth, etc. System accounts can't do this.
       Thousands of virtual users can share the same system user, as long as they all are chrooted, and they have their own home directory.

FILES
       /etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.passwd
       /etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.pdb

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       PURE_PASSWDFILE If this variable is defined, this is the default value for the  text  password  file.  Without  this  variable,	/etc/pure-
       ftpd/pureftpd.passwd is assumed.
       PURE_DBFILE  If	this  variable	is  defined,  this  is	the  default value for the PureDB password file. Without this variable, /etc/pure-
       ftpd/pureftpd.pdb is assumed.
