vsftpd acting odd


Maybe someone can help me out. I'm perplexed.

I've recently set up a new fedora box with vsftpd.

My problem being that when logged in I can't create directories or files in the home dir for whatever user I'm logged in as.

So if I'm in /home/some_user/ I can't create files or directories... BUT If there is a directory that already exists in the home dir I can write to that inner directory fine.

Just for fun I changed the permissions on the /home/some_user/ dir to 777 and verified the owner and group were as they should be... which is identical to the writable sub directory.

Sounds like a chroot problem but I really don't know. Here is my sample config:

Quote:
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES

write_enable=YES
local_umask=022

dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES

xferlog_std_format=YES
idle_session_timeout=600
data_connection_timeout=120


pam_service_name=vsftpd
userlist_enable=YES
#enable for standalone mode
listen=YES
tcp_wrappers=YES
Thanks for any help
