proftpd vs PAM authentication

[Hartleigh Burton]

Hi everyone,

I am relatively new to FreeBSD and have what I hope is a simple  
question regarding proftpd and PAM authentication.

I have just installed proftpd via the available port, and after  
installation a message was returned saying:

###
Make sure you have the following lines in your PAM configuration file
so that ProFTPd's PAM module can authenticate users correctly.

ftpd auth    required    pam_unix.so         try_first_pass
ftpd account required    pam_unix.so         try_first_pass
ftpd session required    pam_permit.so
###

After reading into this I am confused as to where exactly I should be  
entering this information. According to the proftpd README file, in  
FreeBSD it likes to get this information from /etc/pam.conf, whereas  
LINUX looks in /etc/pam.d/ftp, and what topped it off for me is the / 
etc/pam.d/ftpd file.

Where is the best place to have this configuration information; is it  
required considering there is already lines in /etc/pam.d/ftp; if  
required should I overwrite /etc/pam.d/ftp or append to the beginning/ 
end of the file?

I hope there is enough information here for someone to help. Any help  
provided is greatly appreciated in advance ;)

Hartleigh.
