Well, I just use a fake ~/etc and put a 'passwd' and 'group' file in there proftpd
uses... The only problem I have run into is the fact that when using an alternative
'passwd' and 'group' file and also want to do anonymous FTP the 'UID' being used
for anonymous FTP has to be in those 'passwd' and 'group' files. (That got me busy
for a while). Other than that. Just don't run it as a 'root' deamon of course and
everything should be fine.
