Question vsftp and chroot question


Hi there,
i just made my vsftp work well now i activated chroot for some users even this works fine their new root Directory is lets call it /share/ftp now i want one directory outside the cage linked in this chroot environment lets call it /mnt/cdrom so the ftp user should only see /share/ftp and below and the /mnt/cdrom and below. What i tried is making a softlink called cdrom to /mnt/cdrom the ftp user can see this link but isnt allowed to cd into this directory...

Can anybody help please?


Greetz
