CentOS docs - Jul 2011 - [Propose] Chroot vsftpd with non-system users

The proposed subject of Wiki contribution:
Chroot vsftpd with non-system users

The proposed location of Wiki contribution:
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Chroot_Vsftpd_with_non-system_users

I propose this Wiki to give user choice that they can select whether
virtual users
and system account coexist in vsftpd system.

The shell file vsftpd_virtual_config.sh should also adjust to make
this function work.

It works for me to put below two lines ahead of the original
/etc/pam.d/vsftpd file:
auth    sufficient  pam_userdb.so db=/etc/vsftpd/accounts
account sufficient  pam_userdb.so db=/etc/vsftpd/accounts

That would mean to change all the scripts (and still makes it possible
to use the same user name twice).

Yes, as the scripts at the moment fiddle with user accounts, so real
user accounts are getting deleted.

Hmmm. Is this change really needed or will that lead to confusion?

Any opinions on that?
