chroot_list_enable
If activated, you may provide a list of local users who are placed in
a chroot() jail in their home directory upon login. The meaning is
slightly different if chroot_local_user is set to YES. In this case,
the list becomes a list of users which are NOT to be placed in a
chroot() jail. By default, the file containing this list is
/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list, but you may override this with the
chroot_list_file setting.
chroot_local_user
If set to YES, local users will be (by default) placed in a chroot()
jail in their home directory after login. Warning: This option has
security implications, especially if the users have upload permission,
or shell access. Only enable if you know what you are doing. Note that
these security implications are not vsftpd specific. They apply to all
FTP daemons which offer to put local users in chroot() jails.
