DESCRIPTION

40       Virtual  users  is  a  simple  mechanism to store a list of users, with
41       their password, name, uid, directory, etc. It's just like  /etc/passwd.
42       But it's not /etc/passwd. It's a different file, only for FTP.
43       It  means  that you can easily create FTP-only accounts without messing
44       your system accounts.
45       Additionnaly, virtual users files can store individual quotas,  ratios,
46       bandwidth, etc. System accounts can't do this.
47       Thousands  of  virtual users can share the same system user, as long as
48       they all are chrooted, and they have their own home directory.
