+ The <code>uid</code> and <code>gid</code> parameters can be used to set the
+ ownership of the newly created parent directories, up to be <b>not</b>
+ including the home directory.  By default, those created parent directories
+ are owned by root (UID 0 and GID 0).
+ 
+ <p>
  Here are some examples (from the documentation) to help illustrate how one
  might use the <code>CreateHome</code> configuration directive:

    CreateHome on 711
  
!   <font color=green># Specify a mode of 711, and have the parent directories owned by a non-root UID/GID</font>
    CreateHome on 711 uid 100 gid 100
  
    <font color=green># Specify a skeleton directory</font>
    CreateHome on skel /etc/ftpd/skel

+ <b>FAQ</b>
+ 
+ <p>
+ <font color=red>Question</font>: Is it possible to have different permissions
+ for the <code>CreateHome</code> <em>mode</em> and <em>dirmode</em> based on the
+ group of the connecting user?<br>
+ <font color=blue>Answer</font>: Yes, if you use the <a href="http://www.proftpd.org/docs/contrib/mod_ifsession.html"><code>mod_ifsession</code></a> module.
+ For example:
+ <pre>
+   &lt;IfGroup special&gt;
+     CreateHome on 755 dirmode 755
+   &lt;/IfGroup&gt;
+ 
+   &lt;IfGroup !special&gt;
+     CreateHome on 711 dirmode 711
+   &lt;/IfGroup&gt;
+ </pre>
