| [200a3i]
|     path = /home/www_200a3i/public_html
|     valid users = peter, niklas
|     admin users = peter
|     force user = www_200a3i
|     force group = www

| it uses root instead. However, the "force group" settings works just fine.

If you connect as peter, I would expect the admin user option
to take precendence.  If you connect as niklas, then I would
expect the 'force user' parameter to take effect.  Is this
not what you are seeing?

If not, then tell me how the current behavior differs from
2.2.
