You'll have to use a different FTP server daemon.  The "vs" in "vsftpd"
stands for "very secure" but it could also mean "very simple"; it is not
very flexible when it comes to configuration (There are no per-directory
or per-user settings).

You could try ProFTPD; it is a highly configurable FTP daemon.  It used
to come with RHL but it had recurring security problems and was dropped
in favor of vsftpd.  I believe that proftpd is available from freshrpms.
