Hello

I hope I finally made the changes right for my contribution to Wiki How To.

My Wiki username is now : ThomasLibnsek

and the HowTo is located at 
http://centosforserver.blogspot.com/2010/02/virtual-hosting-with-vsftpd-and-mysql.html


I 've added some
- explanations: why do you want to store users in MySQL? Why should 
youchoose a different password for mysql's root account than for your normal 
account?
  hopefully understandable, please tell me how if not.
- vsftpd  commented explanations *why* you set the other settings like they 
are.
- correction of paths like local_root=/usr/tmp/user1


Please review it, if it is acceptable or tell me what /how to change

Thank you.

Regards,
Thomas Libnsek
