ok this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=429783 helped allot..

but Im try to add VirtualUsers, I've used the ftpasswd method and adding the AuthUserFile switch to my proftpd.conf but I can't connect... now is there something else I need to add to my config in order for this method to work... or is the mysql method the way to go?

any help would be greatly appreciated..
