Unable to modify FTP password with telnet

[goutbouyo]

Hello,

I tried to add a new user on the FTP with this commande:

Code:

pure-pw useradd guest -f /etc/pureftpd.passwd -u 1001 -g 1001 -d /share/Video

The problem is that this command should ask me the password twice in return but nothing happen...

I tried to modify the password with:

Code:

pure-ftpd passwd guest

but the result is the same... password is not asked...

My new user is well created but I can't modify the password.
Each time I do pure-ftpd passwd, the password is modified randomly.

I connect to my PCH-A110 on telnet with putty.

Help me please

I didn't solved the problem of the command but I bypassed it

I compute the MD5 hash with the PHP crypt function:

Code:

<?php
$hash = crypt('1234', '$1$Cp2gnAc0$');
echo $hash;
?>

Then I replaced the hashed password in pureftpd.passwd with vi:

Code:

vi /etc/pureftpd.passwd

I finished with updating the database:

Code:

./pure-pw mkdb

Et voila !

I hope this will help other people someday...

Bye
