5. If the user name appears in the file /etc/ftpchroot, or the
user is a member of a group with a group entry in this file,
i.e. one prefixed with `@', the session's root will be changed
to the user's login directory by chroot(2) as for an
``anonymous'' or ``ftp'' account (see next item). This facil-
ity may also be triggered by enabling the boolean "ftp-chroot"
capability in login.conf(5). However, the user must still
supply a password. This feature is intended as a compromise
between a fully anonymous account and a fully privileged ac-
count. The account should also be set up as for an anonymous
account.
it's in the ftpd manpage.
