I haven't used vsftp but the man page shows a 'user_config_dir' option
which allows per-user configuration. It sounds like you could use
user_config_dir and then provide a /etc/vsftpd_user_conf/webadmin
directory with a config file in there solely for webadmin. In webadmins
config file you could set the 'local_root' which is a directory that
vsftpd will change into after webadmin logs in. I assume the lack of a
user config for all other users will just use the global defaults.
