 Hi Ivan,
 
 This has been sitting in the Gnats queue for a few months.  I can't find
 the -d option for setting the base directory.  I can see that -V etcdir
 is supported for locating an alternative etc/pwd.db but not -d :/
 
 Jail password database can be tweaked from the `host' with the existing
 options I guess, i.e.:
 
     JROOT='/home/jail/ftp'
     pw -V "${JROOT}/etc" useradd -d "${JROOT}/home/ftp" [...]
 
 Did you have something else in mind?
