I have created the virtual users through db_load -T -t hash -f logins.txt /etc/vsftpd_login.db entries of vsftpd_login is like this ankush -> username ankush -> password of username ankush tester -> username tester-> password of username tester If this user (in this case tester) is not a system user how can I make it the member of apache group? If I give 777 permissions on /var/www/html/testing then anybody can delete the files which I don't want ? May be setting setuid or setgid on the testing directory solves the problem (let me test this out).
