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.
