I also use it with virtualhosting.
It's a bit uncommon but it works ok.
You have to use something like pam-mysql (if your users are stored in sql) and use eg, the site name as login
then you store every site like:
/var/ftp/mysite.com
/var/ftp/myothersite.com
and so on

as /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf use something including this stuff:

chroot_local_user=YES
guest_enable=YES
guest_username=ftp
user_sub_token=$USER
local_root=/var/ftp/$USER
user_config_dir=/etc/vsftpd/users_conf (if u want one)
virtual_use_local_privs=YES

as /etc/pam.d/mysql:

auth optional pam_mysql.so user=sqluser \
passwd=sqlpassword host=localhost db=sqldb usercolumn=user \
passwdcolumn=passwd crypt=2

account required pam_mysql.so user=sqluser \
passwd=sqlpassword host=localhost db=sqldb usercolumn=user \
passwdcolumn=passwd crypt=2

I have been unable to use something else than crypt=2 as hashing

Anyway, good luck !

Not that I know of

Basically you can have vsftpd check pam only.

But that's good as you can then edit /etc/pam.d/ftp and define how pam looks up your users - say mysql then ldap then local if you want to

Thanks!
