I tried your exact line, but it does not work for me. I also tried the
absolute
DefaultChdir /usr/local/www/data

I did try
DefaultRoot /usr/local/www/data

which does work.  Now it gets more complicated because I would have most
users go to their own directories, but when I log in, I want to go to the
web folder.
Is that possible?

Thanks for the response -
