Arnout, Peter,

I checked this. Obviously, vsftpd uses this directory to chroot there.
If it isn't present it refuses to work:

At least I admit that my commit message was misleading. So I'll send a

That is not the case. Default configuration allows anonymous login, but
shows empty directory without write access.

Kind regards
