Hi i have a question, again :) , concerning proftpd.

I have setup a basic proftpd on a centos 4.4 server.
I have configured that it uses chrooting and that i works with unix system accounts.

But now i have the following situation.

I have a main user (MainUsr) which wants a extra ftp account for a user (ExtraUsr) of his.

But the main user must keep access to all space

example :
LOCATION USER GROEP

ExtraUsr:
- /var/www/mainuser/web/www.extrausr.com mainuser webgroep

MainUsr :
- /var/www/mainuser/web/www.blabal2.com mainuser webgroep
- /var/www/mainuser/web/www.blabal.com mainuser webgroep
- /var/www/mainuser/web/www.blabal3.com mainuser webgroep
- /var/www/mainuser/web/www.extrausr.com mainuser webgroep

How can i do this?
Or what's the best method concerning ftp accounts and sub accounts?
Because this situation is what i had logically in mind, therefor it's not the best method?

The extra user may only have access to his space but i most keep the same owner (mainUsr)

You can chroot your main user to /var/www/mainuser, then he can also access /var/www/mainuser/web/www.extrausr.com.
