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?
