Hello,

From time to time I see a file "UserIdTable.new" in my ioftpd/etc directory, alongside normal "UserIdTable". Does anybody know what is it used for?

My guess is that ioftpd writes changes to userlist to UserIdTable.new sometimes, instead of UserIdTable... Am I right? Does anyone have any idea why is that so? Or when are the changes written back to UserIdTable?

I am trying to determine why users seem to disappear randomly from my server (no trace in any of the logs), and this file is currently my number one suspect...

Thanks for any help
