These seem to be scoreboard files, which amount to live stats. I am
really new to this territory, and trying to see what I can do to help,
so be kind.
grepping the source:
ftpwho-update.h
# ifdef NON_ROOT_FTP
# define SCOREBOARD_PATH CONFDIR "/pure-ftpd-ftpwho"
# else
# define SCOREBOARD_PATH "/var/run/pure-ftpd"
# endif
#define SCOREBOARD_PREFIX "client-"
I am assuming # is not a comment in C, or has special treatment. That
path is hard coded, I believe there would need to be a patch made for
the portfile to change that to that of ${prefix} in front of it?
But this may just be the ftpwho command, and where it looks. I can
not find solid reference to where the actual creation of the
scoreboard directory happens at.
The man pages, make multiple references to non ${prefix} based
locations. I suppose those need cleaning as well?
This is a strange one, as you can supply the path to the ftp.log and ftp.xfer.log
as startup args, in which case I get to put them wherever I want. I
chose to put them in ${prefix}.
However, each of the defaults is in fact hard coded into the source,
and I am guessing needs to be patched.
Curious, is the correct procedure to have arbitrary paths that people
may want to change be a configure option, Or is it unique to Mac
Ports, and just reinplace the files carefully?
I will do my best on this one, but it may be out of my league. It is
currently nomaintainer, so I could take it over, but will need a
little handholding I suspect.

I can not determine from the docs, or google, what these 98 files are.

There should also be a pure-ftpd.pid file in ${prefix}/var/run which
is missing from both locations. From what I understand, pureftpd
starts on demand, and is not always running, so I made sure to login
via ftp and look for a pid file, none to be found.
I am going to cross post parts of this sans the ${prefix} stuff to
the pureftpd mailing list and will report back any findings.
