Description

DirFakeGroup can be used to hide the true group of files (including directories, fifos, etc.) in a directory listing. If simply turned On, DirFakeGroup will display all files as being owned by group 'ftp'. Optionally, the groupname argument can be used to specify a specific group other than 'ftp'. "~" can be used as the argument in order to display the primary group name of the current user.

Both DirFakeGroup and DirFakeUser are completely cosmetic; the groupname or username specified don't need to exist on the system, and neither directive affects permissions, real ownership or access control in any way.
