Thanks for you quick reply .. said link is for proftpd and I'm using 
vsftpd ...

I've gone through your said solution... but situation is a particular 
ftp user is not able to login interactively (ssh or telnet ). thats ok
but whenever he tries to ftp into server he gets "500 OOPS: vsftpd: 
refusing to run with writable root inside chroot()
Login failed."
