RH9 VSFTP Chroot Problem

RH9 VSFTP Chroot Problem

Hi there,

I 'm running RH9 with VSFTP and I 'm trying to make it so that FTP users are restricted to their home directories only.

I 've done as everywhere I 've looked says to do, but it does not work:

In /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf:

-- ---- --
chroot_list_enable=YES
chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
chroot_local_user=YES
-- -----

And now when I ftp in it simply puts everyone in the root / directory and doesn 't let the go into any directory.

I 've even tried with just like this:

-- ---- --
#chroot_list_enable=YES
#chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
chroot_local_user=YES
-- -----

And I 'm always starting and stopping the vsftpd service.

The homedirectories are correct in the /etc/passwd file and if I SSH in as the users it does put them in their home directories.

I 'm starting to wonder if this is a VSFTP bug in RH9?

Can someone enlighten me?

Also I can 't find any documentation anywhere on how to setup a non local user ftp server (not allowing local users and how/where to store the ftp users/passwords).
