Re #3: Contribution for Wiki CentOS - Virtual Hosting with VSFTPD and MySQL on CentOS 5 - HowTO Tutorial

Nice tutorial.

But there's one particular problem that interest me a lot. Everywhere somebody writes about vsftpd+mysql, two FTP-dedicated users are created, so all content is owned by them. Does anybody have yet discovered how FTP is configured on cPanel? I know they uses pure-ftpd, but their way of dealing with users is great. Let me give an example for those who are not familiar with cPanel/WHM.

user1 is a system user. He can access (via FTP also) /home/user1. He creates a directory /home/user1/public_html/website and wants to create virtual user. We need to make user2 (which is virtual - NOT system user) and give him access to /home/user1/public_html/website ONLY. If server has got suPHP running, all PHP files under /home/user1/public_html must be owned by user1, so user2 has to upload files with user1's ownership.

How to achieve this? Maybe someting like this is possible on vsftpd also?

Yours faithfully,
