THanks for the clarification - but what if i'm NOT happy with that 
assignment?  Can I change it?

I've got my contact at the business (userid: manager), who wants to 
handle all the usernames & password resets.  However he does NOT want 
to handle the FTP to the site, which someone else handles. 
Therefore, on the VPS2 i've laid out the site as 
/home/company123/www/company123.com.  That way they can give out the 
password to the company123 account to other employees/people who need 
FTP access to the site.

I don't think I can specify the User as 'manager') and have the web 
site live in /home/company123/ , right?

Any suggestions?
