As I understood the first post he doesn't actually have users on the
system (proftpd users in sql?) so that wouldn't work. What I would
do is probably run the webserver as nobody/nogroup and make sure that
nothing is writable by that user/group.

If on the other hand he has actual users on the system I would go for
suexec that comes with Apache.

just my $.02
