vsftp, yes again

I can't figure out what is going on with my VSFTP. I have searched and searched and only found that I have to add "chroot_local_users=YES" I have done this and I have tried the other method of adding users to the chroot list. Neither of them has worked. Any help will be appreicated.

have you restarted vsftp?

Hi Funny Enough I have the same problem.
I downloaded the VSFTPD1.2.1 and compiled it following the INSTALL documents on RH8.
I have created a vsftpd config file and enbled chroot. I have tested the anonymous ftp and other part and all is ok, the only thing that does not seam to work the chroot jail. Also I should mention that its running from xinetd.
Included is the config file, any help would be really appreciated.
