1 Hi folks,
2
3 I used emerge to install proftpd 1.2.9. In /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf, I set user and group to proftpd, so when I start the FTP server, it should start as user and group proftpd (yes, they are created). But when I start proftpd, it just runs as root... I searched the manual page for possible switches that could force the server to start as a particular user and group, but there aren't any...

5 Can anyone give me some sort of explination on this?
