Dear Blackburn,

There are 0 to 1024 ports that are privileged ports and those ports will on be run by
root.

I am a bit confused as to how this works. 

I created a local unpriveleged user (with /bin/nologin shell).

i uncommented the line containing

nopriv_user=ftpsecure

and restarted vsftp.

 

I am confused as to what is supposed to happen.

Shuld the daemon /usr/sbin/vsftpd be run as root or should it be ftpsecure?

 

Or is the account only used to login to transfer files?

 

Any help would be appreciated.
