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?
