-      <note>By default, the operating system will not allow the FTP server
-        to use privileged ports for active connections.  If you specify a

+        to assign <code>FTPActiveRange</code> below 1024 on a unix platform,
+        mod_ftp requires unix domain sockets, and will create an additional
+        httpd process to serve these bound, low numbered ports to the httpd
+        child worker processes.</note>
