+ <b>Note</b> that if the <code>coredump</code> option is used, proftpd will
+ <b>not</b> switch the UID/GID to the <code>User</code>/<code>Group</code>
+ defined in the config file, nor to that of the logged-in user.  Unix kernels
+ are notoriously picky about generating coredumps for processes that have

+ is disabled in order to make it possible to get a coredump.  Again, it is
+ a <b>bad idea</b> to run a proftpd built with <code>coredump</code> in
+ production.
