Good question - I'm looking at this right now myself.  To the maillist, please 
post your responses to the entire list, as I suspect several of us could use 
this.

Here we would like have a configuration which would allow a group of 
researchers to enter a user name other than ftp or anonymous and be 
placed in a certain directory which could be maintained by a project 
leader.  Is it possible? advisable? 
Also, did someone respond to the request for a faq or documentation?
