Can I tell NcFTPd to authenticate users from a text file in the same format as /etc/passwd?
No. With the exception of /etc/passwd in the passwd line in the domain.cf, all other items must be password databases (which are not text files). What actually happens is that NcFTPd special-cases the item named /etc/passwd; if this item is in the list, NcFTPd uses standard library functions like getpwnam(). NcFTPd doesnt open up the file and read from it directly.
