Package: vsftpd Version: 2.0.3-1 Severity: normal
If you make any error in the config file (e.g. mistype a config option or refer to a nonexistent ssl cert file) the daemon will fail to start but no error message is written to any log file: # apt-get install vsftpd ... # echo "XXX_INVALID_OPTION=XXX_INVALID_VALUE" >> /etc/vsftpd.conf # /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart Restarting FTP server: vsftpd/usr/sbin/vsftpd already running. # pgrep vsftpd # grep -r vsftp /var/log # vsftpd 500 OOPS: unrecognised variable in config file: XXX_INVALID_OPTION To reiterate: this is a fresh install, with only the one relevant change to the config file, the daemon fails to start, nothing is written to any log, and if you run vsftpd directly you do get a sensible error message. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-2-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages vsftpd depends on: ii adduser 3.63 Add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcap1 1:1.10-14 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libpam-modules 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 0.76-22 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7e-3 SSL shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-8 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
