If I wanted to have one more problem (anonymous users not
able to access local users' files) I would do it... :-)

I'll try to explain it one more time. I have local users
"user1", "user2", "userX" and their home directories are:
/home/ftp/user1
/home/ftp/user2
/home/ftp/userX

Anonymous users are chrooted to /home/ftp, so they can access
files stored in /home/ftp/user1 (user2, userX). That is OK,
that is what I want. But local user1 is chrooted to
/home/ftp/user1, so he can't access files in /home/ftp/user2
(or /home/ftp/userX).

And *this* is what I want to solve: to give local users
the same possibility to access other users' files (if file
access permissions allow it, of course). So I want to chroot
local users to the very same /home/ftp directory where
anonymous users are chrooted, but I do not know how...
