    What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

    Well,

    When users are loging in onto the server they can look in the whole filesystem. Everything. I want the users to stay in there own home directory.

    In Pure-ftpd chrootting happens with -A

    If i remember right.

    man vsftp could help.

    I would go through the vsftpd.conf file. by default they are only allowed to access their home directory. Something probably got switched. Also look in /etc/password and make sure you ftp user isn't part of another user such as root and also look at /etc/group and make sure they aren't part of a priveleged group.
