If you plan on setting up more than one store on the server (using virtual
domains) you probably want user <interch> to be the user that runs the IC
server. Then when you set up your catalogs (stores) the user should be the
account that has ftp access to the http files for that domain. I put those
catalogs just outside the htdocs directory in the same directory tree that
contains cgi-local (cgi-bin) for that domain. I put user <interch> in the group
<ftponly> which is also the group that all my http (ftp) users belong too.
