I am trying to set up ftp accounts on my machines, and have to resort to
using bind in fstab to enable users to have access to folders after

because I think I am abusing fstab here, and the method doesn't scale
too well as I see it.

Is there any way of making vsftpd follow symlinks, much like apache
would do.


Symbolic links do work, but they're relative to the root directory -- and that's changed.

What are you trying to protect against? If a user has access to the machine when they log in, the a chrooted ftp environment doesn't add any protection. If the users don't have log in access, then just set up multiple ftp guest accounts. I've done this with wu-ftpd a lot, but I believe that the "passwd_chroot_enable" option in vsftpd.conf provides the same functionality.
