After installing pure-ftpd and adding a user using the command:

pure-pw useradd <user> -u <user> -d /var/www/domain -f /var/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.passwd

pure-ftp asks me for a new password for the user. However, after logging in the user via ftp I can only do this using his linux password (and not the one set above). More, user is directed to his home at /home/ rather then given /var/www/domain.

Can someone help?

If you want to add user home as root(/) directory, just change the below option in pure-ftpd.conf which is available in /etc/pure-ftpd dir.

# Cage in every user in his home directory
# YES - User dir as root(/) directory
# NO  - No restriction 

ChrootEveryone YES

More details are explained in SUSE11 FTP general settings

Maybe you've forgotten to set your puredb path in your pure-ftpd.conf file or specify the auth mode in the launching command using the -l option (see the man page for pure-ftpd).

run

ln -s /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/PureDB /etc/pure-ftpd/auth/60PureDB

to enable internal authentication method prior to UNIX authentication and PAM authentication
