Easiest setup of FTP server with virtual users on Linux

Question

I want an FTPd running on my server, with an easy way to setup users/directories. I don't need MySQL, anon access, local users etc. Preferably the users setup would be a plain file with something like

username 1        password hash         /root/dir
username 2        password hash         /root/dir
username 3        password hash         /root/dir

What's the fastest easiest way to setup FTPd with virtual users?
