Package: vsftpd
Version: 2.3.2-3+squeeze2
Severity: wishlist
In order to enable a passwordless, anonymous file-sharing service for a scanner
and multiple PCs on a private network, I needed to use man vsftpd to find these
parameters:
diff /etc/vsftpd.conf junk2/etc/vsftpd.conf
24,29d23
< anon_root=/home/ftp/
< no_anon_password=yes
< anon_world_readable_only=no
< dirlist_enable=yes
< anon_other_write_enable=yes
< anon_umask=007
It would be more convenient if they were documented internally, with defaults
and
warnings, in /etc/vsftpd.conf. Such a server is needed where guests frequently
visit and need to share images from smart phones, tablets and notebooks with the
residents who use the scanner and various PCs. If not documented in
/etc/vsftpd.conf, there should be an example configuration file.

the configuration file is not ment as documentation, it shall not
include a 'preconfigured' stanza for each and every possible use case
(in fact, the current one is already quite bloated and should be trimmed
at some point anyway).
it's perfectly fine to have users look the one or other thing up in the
manpage, it's not that the manpage would be overly complicated or long.
