Email/FTP User Names are up to 8 characters and consist of upper or lower
case alphabetic characters or digits.  They must start with an
alphabetic character and should generally be all lower case.

Email/FTP User Name: username

Now, enter a password for this user's Email/FTP account.  For security
reasons you may want to use a password that is longer than 6 characters
and that has at least one non alphabetic character.  The password will
*not* be echoed to the screen and you will be required to type it twice.

Email/FTP password: {password}
Retype Email/FTP password: {password}

Now, enter the Email/FTP User's full name.  Please use less than 80 characters
and no ':' characters.

Full Name: John Doe

that you have the FTP service with your account)?  Please answer yes or no.
If you are planning to add the FTP service to your account later and want this
user to have FTP access you can answer "yes" now.

FTP, yes or no: y

        (1) /usr/home/username
        (2) /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/username
        (3) /ftp/pub/username

Pick 2 if you want this user to be able to upload his or her own web pages.
the URL would be something like http://www.yourcompany.com/username/)

archive (ftp://ftp.yourcompany.com/username/).
Otherwise, pick 1.
