Subject: One user on virtual domains

Hello,

I'd like to use several virtual domains for one user but could not find out how
to do it.

I run several virtual domains and sometimes one user owns more than one domain.
Right now there must be a different login for each virtual server to get the
user into the appropriate directory.
The user already decided which virtual server he wants to use by the ftp address
he uses, so why should he use different logins?

What I have looks like:

user1 on vhost1 -> /home/host1
user2 on vhost2 -> /home/host2
user2 on vhost1 -> denied
user2 on vhost3 -> denied
user3 on vhost3 -> /home/host3 (same user as user1)

What I'd like to have is:

user1 on vhost1 -> /home/host1
user2 on vhost2 -> /home/host2
user1 on vhost3 -> /home/host3

My problem is how to move one user to different starting directories with only
one entry in /etc/passwd.

Is there any way to get this done?

Harry
