thats not a security problem.  its how its supposed to behave.
  if u dont want users chrooted to /home/username, that is, they can only go
to as high as /home/username, read on re giving users "guestgroup" access in
wu-ftpd docs, and then change their respective enreies in /etc/passwd so that
when theyll log in to ftp, they'll be chrooted to /home/username ...
  example, for /etc/passwd:
  user:x:1023:1100:user,,,:/home/user/./:/usr/bin/ascriptiwrote
                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                           this is his chrooted dir
  also, try reading man chroot
AFAIK,
Chad
