Hi,

The recommendation going around when using virtual users is to lower
MinUID to include the user used to run pure-ftpd, for example
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pure-FTPd:

=C2=AB The virtual users running as the FTP system users can not log in by
default. To change that behavior, set the option MinUID in
/etc/pure-ftpd.conf to 14 (UID of the ftp user). =C2=BB

This is unfortunately not great as it allows other system users with
larger uid too.

Is there a way to not do the MinUID check for virtual users mapped to
the uid used to run the server?

Regards
