With oftpd, you can specify the root-directory as the last
argument on the commandline, full path.
Hard to imagine that you can't do something similar
with in.ftpd. If not there, it HAS to be an environment
variable or in a configuration file that is either in
/etc or in your home directory (probably as a 'dot' directory,
as in ~/.in.ftpd)
