    Debian GNU/Linux 9.5, ISPConfig 3.1.11.
    I noticed from Tiger auditing report that pure-ftpd is running as web user, not as root. And indeed:
    Code:
    # ps -ef | grep -i pure
root      5336     1  0 loka16 ?       00:00:00 pure-ftpd (SERVER)
web86     6549  5336  0 02:30 ?        00:00:00 pure-ftpd (IDLE)
root      6550  6549  0 02:30 ?        00:00:00 pure-ftpd (PRIV)
root     25379 10610  0 14:41 pts/0    00:00:00 grep -i pure
web86    28437  5336  0 loka17 ?       00:00:00 pure-ftpd (IDLE)
root     28438 28437  0 loka17 ?       00:00:00 pure-ftpd (PRIV)
    Why is this? Should I disable that website or ftp account?

    I have not noticed that yet but it might be ok nonetheless. Maybe there is active FTP session at the moment to that site and pure-ftpd spans an instance of itself under that user then.
