I've patched ftpd.c to do what your asking, the way it works is as follows..
o User logs in e.g. user = kronus
o Ftpd checks to see if the user's name (in this case, kronus) is listed
in /etc/ftpwww
o If it does exist then ftpd will change directory to
/usr/local/www/data/kronus
o It it doesn't it continues as it would normally.
I've attached the tarball to an e-mail sent to your address, if anyone on
the list wants a copy just ask and i'll forward it to you.. To install it,
login as root and enter the
following commands (all on one line), replace filename.tar.gz with the name
of file ...
mkdir /tmp/ftp ; cp -f filename.tar.gz /tmp/ftp ; cd /tmp/ftp ; tar xvzf
filename.tar.gz ; make ; make install
then just type make ; make install
All you have to do then is to create /etc/ftpwww and put the user's in who
you want
to be automatically chdir'd to /usr/local/www/data/{username}
If you need anything else adding just give me a shout..
