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.
