       -g <group or gid>
	      Sets the group files will be scanned as. This is optional : if a user name is passed to -u</fR>, group are automatically retrieved.

       -u <user or uid>
	      Set the user name files will be scanned as. This is mandatory, and it can't be "root".

SECURITY

       pure-quotacheck switches real and effective uids/gids as soon as possible. Root privileges are never given back.
       pure-quotacheck refuses to scan directories with uid = 0 (root) or gid = 0 (wheel/root) .
       pure-quotacheck performs a chroot() call to the home directory. It never traverses parent directories.
       pure-quotacheck only scans real files (no socket, no pipe, etc) .
       pure-quotacheck enforces read access on directories to prevent against people doing chmod 0 before a quota scan.
       pure-quotacheck enforces write access on the home directory to properly write the .ftpquota file.
       pure-quotacheck never scans the same inode/device pair twice.
