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.
