Hello,

Did anyone try to run ProFTPD completely under pon-privileged user?

I guess It would need:

- changing init script/systemd unit
   (directive User doesn't prevent from being able to setuid() etc)
- using mod_vroot

- listen on port>1024
- non-system user database (I guess even for single anonymous user)
- setting paths/permissions for log, lock, pid files 

Does it need any changes more than that?
Does it work?
