Multiple Minivends on one machine

Hello,

I work for an ISP that would like to offer Minivend for customers that 
wish to provide things online.  Our setup is: each customer has their
own Unix account, and they cannot read or write to files in other
accounts.  We would like to have a site-wide installation of Minivend, 
and have only the applicable catalogs and related files stored in each 
user's directory.  This way, upgrades would hopefully be easier,
resource utilization would be lower because of only one Minivend
daemon running, and disk space requirements would be lower.

However, the documentation doesn't address how to set up Minivend in
this manner.  I'm curious as to how one would do that, and secondly,
what security implications there might be.  (Ie, if you have access to 
configure one catalog, could this be exploited to access a different
catalog?)

Thanks,
John Goerzen
