[CentOS] VSFTP/MySQL

[Troy Engel]

Just to throw out another option, consider looking at ProFTPd instead of
VSFTPd; it supports native (as long as you compile it in) MySQL
authentication and is completely configurable as to which tables and
fields you can query for the login data. I can provide some quickie
examples if you need.

I have for years ditched whatever FTP daemon RedHat has offered and gone
right to ProFTPd on every server that needs FTP, and have never been
dissappointed.
