Package: vsftpd
Version: 2.0.3-1
Severity: normal

in Line 46 of /usr/share/doc/vsftpd/EXAMPLE/VIRTUAL_USERS/README.gz

        cp vsftpd.pam /etc/pam.d/ftp

But, as indicated in vsftpd.conf(5), the default setting is

        pam_service_name=vsftpd

So, we need change the document to

        cp vsftpd.pam /etc/pam.d/vsftpd

in order to have virtual-user ftp work properly.

Otherwise, there comes the pam authentication oops (/var/log/auth.log):

        Apr  4 10:45:22 server vsftpd: (pam_unix) check pass; user unknown
        Apr  4 10:45:22 server vsftpd: (pam_unix) authentication failure;
logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=

BTW: this *is* a minor problem, but since many people asked it in various web
forums and got no answer, I think it deserves a fix under the severity normal.

Hi,

the current README contains this now:

[...]
cp vsftpd.pam /etc/pam.d/ftp

(Note - if you set pam_service_name to e.g. vsftpd instead, you'll need
to copy
to /etc/pam.d/vsftpd).
[...]

I think this is clear enough.

Regards,
Daniel
