Are you running SElinux? What are the file permissions in the home directories?

Hello All, I've been trying to setup vsftpd with virtual users, each with their own homedir. I've been at it all day, having lots of setbacks. Ironically, getting the authentication done was a piece of cake, where I'm getting the real trouble when I've logged in. I can list files but can't write or make directories. The ftp user I've setup is named 'clients', homedir is /data/clients. Here's my conf at the moment: local_enable=YES write_enable=YES local_umask=022 dirmessage_enable=YES xferlog_enable=YES connect_from_port_20=YES xferlog_file=/var/log/xferlog xferlog_std_format=NO listen=YES pam_service_name=vsftpd userlist_enable=YES tcp_wrappers=YES log_ftp_protocol=YES anonymous_enable=NO virtual_use_local_privs=YES guest_enable=YES user_sub_token=$USER local_root=/data/clients/$USER chroot_local_user=YES hide_ids=YES With this conf I can login, list the directories, etc. However cannot upload or make any new directories. If I enable any of these two options: guest_username=clients nopriv_user=clients I am unable to login, getting the error: 500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/data/clients/testuser Login failed. Everything is owned clients:clients. Can anyone help me out here? I've been banging my head against the wall all day and am out of steam. Also, I can't figure out how to get any /useful/ information from vsftpd to help debug the problem. Thanks, Nick No virus found in this incoming message.
