Hi all,
I am currntly running vsftp and want to enable chroot for logins, so far I cant make it happen. When I edit /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf and add in (what I think are) the options then ftp doesn't work at all.

What do you think are the options?
Good point, it might be more useful if I tell you what I am doing.

Well basically ftp works fine but with out the chroot working. When I add chroot_local_user=YES the sever rejects ftp requests.
Here is my /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf


anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
xferlog_enable=YES
xferlog_std_format=YES
chroot_local_user=YES
pam_service_name=vsftpd
listen=YES
tcp_wrappers=NO

When I have chroot_local_user=YES in the config file I get
Connection Refused
When I leave it out I dont have chroot, but ftp works.

Can I copy your config? That should get me started, and then I can learn by looking at a working config
