FTP account feature or bug?

[MetodiD]

We use API to create customers on Plesk Panel. During that procedure we also create one ftp account for a user. The problem is that user is able to rename his username and since ftp account is a system account (/etc/passwd, /etc/shadow) we don't like that. Is there a way to forbid user changing ftp username and allow him only to change password?

I´m very unhappy with this, because with increasing numbers of customer it will happen that they try to choose the same username.

Additional: customer always choose easy usernames and password. If I enter the username I have the possibility to create something special to make it more secure.

So is there a way to disable this "feature"?

Is anyone able to help me? I have tried to contact email support but it gives me an error "Invalid Plesk Build".

I think it will be like always - not a bug - it´s a feature.
We will have to accept it.

Just added this option in preview of Plesk 11.1 version.
