I just added ProFTPD and I am adjusting the ProFTPD configuration

newly created group fpt.. So I guess a user ftp is already there.
How can I check this from the command line? I am reading man
dseditgroup as groupadd/useradd does not seem to be a valid command
on my Mac. Haven't found a way to list all groups on the system yet
though...
In Terminal.app do:
$ dscl . list /Users
$ dscl . list /Groups
Does the proftpd port not add system a user and group to run as?
If not and they are required I think this should be added to the
portfile.
Also, you can probably just add _ftp for a user which is the osx
naming convention for non-login users.
Take a look at all the names beginning with underscores from the
output of the commands I listed.
