Pure-FTPD error message upon startup

[Gerard Seibert]

Running FSBD 5.1-RC1, I tried to install 'pure-ftpd'. The install went
fine, but upon startup, it displays this warning message:


Starting pureftpd.
Running: /usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd -b -c50 -B -C8 -d -D -fftp -I15
-lunix -L2000 :8 -m4 -s -U133:022 -u100 -i -Ow3c:/var/log/pureftpd.log
-k99 -Z -Y0 May  3 19:12:55 seibercom pure-ftpd: ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [ERROR] 
Unable to
find the 'ftp' account

I have tried removing and reinstalling the program, but it still
displays the same error message.

The program does run however, and seems to be working correctly. I had
it installed on FSBD 5.4 without incident previously.

I do not seem to have an 'ftp' user. Should I create one? Is that the
account it is referring to?

Thanks!

this is what i have for my vsftpd-setup :

ftp:*:14:5::0:0:Anonymous FTP Admin:/home/ftp:/bin/sh

(i think the ftp-home defaults to /var/ftp but i prefer this,
btw, i don't like the fact that pureftpd doesn't let your upload
directories by default, which vsftpd does)
