Why not try a MySQL backend to ProFTPD so access can be controlled via a
database instead of system accounts?
- "DefaultRoot ~" everyone by default but have a second virtual ProFTPD
server for those users that aren't locked down by default. WHY anyone
wouldn't be locked into their home directory is a mystery anyway.
- Email only clients wouldn't be in the MySQL database and hence wouldn't
get FTP access.
- Shared access to files could be done with a symlink perhaps?
- Automated scripts can be made to update the database very easily.
