Demon's Homepages system handles this with a hacked ftpd that prevents
users from accessing paths outside their home directory (which is
determined from their dial-up hostname in a mod_vhost_alias-ish way).
This allows us to give them all the same user ID without them
interfering with each other's stuff. Authentication is done against
their dial-up account details in the RADIUS database. The code isn't
available, but I doubt you'd want it :-)
