proftpd.conf configuration

Hi,

I have tried to modify 'proftpd.conf' to do the following:

I have some superusers that need to be able to login in using a common
username and password, and upload/download files and create/delete
folders.

Then I need to allow access for some users. They should be able to
login using a common username and password, but they are only allowed
to read the files (uploaded by the superusers), and nothing else.

What do I need to add to my 'proftpd.conf' file?

Create an account, let's say "foo1" with password "bar1"
Its HOME will be /home/foo1

This will be the superuser account.

Create an account named "foo2" with a password "bar2" _and_ set its HOME
to /home/foo1.
Make sure /home/foo1 is owned by foo1 and not by anyone else.
Also take care of the groups.

Ensure all users are chrooted to their HOME by putting

DefaultRoot ~

into the proftpd.conf.
