Migrating configuration of VSFTPd to Fedora Core 5

[Thetargos]

I upgraded my server today to FC5 and am having a bit of troubles getting vsftpd to correctly work. I mostly migrated the configuration of vsftpd.conf to the version of Core 5, and the problem I am having is that it somehow is blocking users in the /home directory, I can't connect with any local user as it shows an "OOPS can't change directory to /home/$USER" error message... Will have to double (or tripple check) my configuration, but I'm pretty sure everything is setup correctly (unless the vsftpd_conf_migrate.sh script messed things up.

Check if the users are listed in /etc/vsftpd/chroot_list and read the comments in /etc/vsftpd/user_list

You could also be experiencing problems if selinux is enabled (man ftpd_selinux)

Everything is consistent, the users in vsftpd/user_list are the ones I don't want to have access to the server, and the proper flag is set in the configuration file, the chrooted users are there in the chroot_list, and still doesn't work... Odd, eh?
