Both anonymous and virtual/local users map to the ftp user and
chroot():s in that users home directory. I just let it run on default.

Somehow it works with anonymous users but not with local users so I
don't think that it is the chroot environment.

Another odd thing is that I can log on as a local user and I can use
ftp as a guest user and chroot to the ftp directory!

Thus using the following PAM-file works
---cut---
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_listfile.so item=user
sense=deny file=/etc/ftpusers onerr=succeed
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_shells.so
account    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
session    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
---cut---

But using the PAM-file I use for virtual users does not work
---cut---
auth required /lib/security/pam_userdb.so db=/etc/vsftpd_login
account required /lib/security/pam_userdb.so db=/etc/vsftpd_login
---cut---

To me it seems that there is a problem with pam_userdb.so and vsftpd
but I have no idea how to progress from here...

Thank you for your input!
