I would like first to thank all who took the time and trouble to respond
to my request.  This list is an incredible resource.
 
Thanks to:

and two other individuals whose e-mails I have misplaced.
 
The basic problem that I faced, being able to restrict certain ftp users
to specific directory structures, can be handled by the ftpd daemon
which ships with hp-ux. But only if that directory structure exists
under the anonymous ftp directory.  Unfortunately this is not true in my
case and a restructuring of the existing directories, while not
impossible, would have been a major undertaking to accomplish a small
benefit.
 
However, the wu-ftpd version 2.4.2b11 looks very promising and has built
in virtual domain functionality.  This looks like the solution for us.
I will post again if something turns up to prevent our using it.  The
source may be obtained from the following anonymous ftp site:

Regards, and again many thanks.
