NAME
     ftpaddhost - set up a virtual FTP host

SYNOPSIS
     ftpaddhost -c | -l [-b] [-x xferlog] hostname root_dir


DESCRIPTION
     The ftpaddhost script is executed by the super user  to  set
     up  virtual FTP hosts. The ftpaddhost command configures the
     virtual host hostname under directory root_dir. The value of
     hostname can be an IP address or the name of a host.

OPTIONS
     The ftpaddhost script supports the following options:

     -b            Create a banner for  the  virtual  host.  This
                   option  is  useful to confirm that the virtual
                   host is working.


     -c            Configure  complete  virtual   hosting.   This
                   option  allows  each  virtual host to have its
                   own version of the ftpaccess,  ftpconversions,
                   ftpgroups,  ftphosts,  and ftpusers files. The
                   master version of each of these  configuration
                   files  is  copied from the /etc/ftpd directory
                   and   placed   in    the    /etc/ftpd/virtual-
                   ftpd/hostname  directory. If the /etc/ftpusers
                   file exists it  is  appended  to  the  virtual
                   ftpusers file. If a virtual host lacks its own
                   version of a configuration  file,  the  master
                   version is used.


     -l            Configure  limited   virtual   hosting.   This
                   option  allows a small number of parameters to
                   be configured differently for a  virtual host.
                   See  the  virtual  keyword on the ftpaccess(4)
                   manual page.


     -x xferlog    Create a logfile entry such that the  transfer
                   logs  for  the virtual host are written to the
                   specified  file.  An  absolute  path  must  be
                   specified for the xferlog file.
