What do you mean? Do you want to keep the user in its chroot jail i.e. in its home directory or another directory that is not its home directory?

If you want to keep the user limited to its home directory only then. Just do add following line in your vsftpd.conf file.

chroot_list_enable=YES

This will place all the local users in the jail of their home directory. Their root directory is their home directory.
You can also place the selected users in the home directory jail and others not. For more details on doing this see the man pages of vsftpd.conf.

i have read the vsftpd.conf man pages very carefully but i didn't find any solution for my problem.
here a short example of what i want to do:

user "jack" has homedir "/home/jack" in /etc/passwd
and i want to jail him to "/home/jack/xxx"

is this possible with vsftpd without patching?

btw: i'm using fedora 3 with vsftpd 2.0.1
