DirFakeGroup and its companion directive, DirFakeUser, can be used to hide the true group and user owners of files 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' (an alternate username in the case of DirFakeUser). "~" can be used as the argument in order to display the primary group name of the current user (the current user's username in the case of DirFakeUser).
Both DirFakeGroup and DirFakeUser are completely cosmetic; the groupname or username specified need not exists on the system, and neither directive affects permissions, real ownership or access control in any way.
