I have 2 problems with my VSFTPD system.

I have 2 users. ie USER1 & USER2. Both have home directories with correct access rights set. (Read Write Execute for USER)
Homedirectories are named /home/user1 & /home/user2

All users are local, and are chrooted to their home dirs. Except that user1 is in the exception list of vsftpd and therefore not chrooted.
Both users are listed in the vsftpd.userlist

Now the problems:
USER1 has NO problems logging in and listing directories, BUT the user cannot upload files/make directory changes.

USER2 cannot login ! Every time i get the error the user is chrooted. (When I put user2 also in the chroot exception list, the user is able to log in.)

What is wrong ?

Here is my vsftpd.conf file:
--------------------------------------------------------


anon_world_readable_only=NO
anonymous_enable=NO

ftp_username=ftp
chmod_enable=YES

chown_uploads=YES
chown_username=root

In an update to my post:

When I create a subdirectory (via the console on the box) in the users homedirectory. The user is able to upload files via FTP in that subfolder. but on the root share, it still gives me access denied. And I still have that chroot thing

Well, I've fixed the problem myself !!

This kept me busy for almost a week !
The only thing I needed to do was to DISABLE the SELinux security feature. This service kept all my config's from gooing wrong !

Everyting works now. VSFTPD, SAMBA, all of it !!

Can you f*** believe it ? Some stupid security feature.
