Dan,
This is what I do to jail ftp user accounts.
Creating a chroot (jail).
Allow for users to only move around in their ftp home directory.
1. vi /etc/vsftpd.conf
chroot_list_enable=YES
NOTE: A man of vsftpd.conf describes the parameter as:
If activated, you may provide a list of local users who are
placed in a chroot() jail in their home directory upon login.
2. Re-start the xinetd process.
service xinetd restart
3. Append every new user to a file called /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list.
4. Make sure that the /data/ftp/<login> has permissions set to 700.
NOTE: I separate my ftp only user accounts into a separate file
system, named /data/ftp. All regular user accounts are
in /home.
When a users log into their /data/ftp/<login> and do a "pwd", they
only see "/".
I hope this helps,

Ben,
I don't want anonymous access. I want each user to only be able to access
what they have permission (rwx)to access i.e /home/username or any publicly
defined directory. As it stands if a user logs in as lets say bob they can
go into /home/marry and delete the contents out of that directory, which
they shouldn't be able to do.
