Description Eric Harney 2004-06-08 00:47:57 UTC

Adding "--with-privsep" into the econf --with list enables privilege separation, causing the server to drop privileges to the user upon login for security.  I tested this with pure-ftpd-1.0.18.  I think it would be a good thing to include unless there is a good reason not to.
