[Bug 477] Re: Config of pure-ftpd need to be simplified.
Obviously, this package has been updated since the original bug / feature ticket was placed. Is it possible that the ability to use a single conf file (with options as documented in the upstream package) was added and the ticket just hasn't been updated? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477 Title: Config of pure-ftpd need to be simplified.

[Bug 477] Re: Config of pure-ftpd need to be simplified.
I just installed pure-ftpd for the first time, and this config system is absolutely ludicrous. I can't believe it hasn't changed in 10 years. Instead of a wrapper script, why not just call pure-ftpd /etc/pure-ftpd /pure-ftpd.conf... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477 Title: Config of pure-ftpd need to be simplified.

[Bug 477] Re: Config of pure-ftpd need to be simplified.
The biggest issue I see is that in the documentation for PureFTP it states you can repeat an option -d to allow for logging of server responses as well. How do you accomplish this in the option per file scheme? From the documentation: - '-d': Send various debugging messages to the syslog. Don't use this unless you really want to debug Pure-FTPd. Passwords aren't logged. Duplicate '-d' to log responses, too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477 Title: Config of pure-ftpd need to be simplified.

I ended up editing the wrapper to allow for a second file VerboseLog2 to provide the second -d since there was no other way I could see to allow the -d -d option in the daemon command. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477 Title: Config of pure-ftpd need to be simplified.

How do I turn on the -P Force the specified IP address option with this new awkward one-option-per-file scheme?

5 years passed without any further action being done on this report. Are they still aware that they need to fix this issue?

I think that this issue should really be fixed in debian (or ubuntu directly if debian doesn't move) as it is really an usability nightmare to have one application where the distribution (and not the application) insist on a totally different configuration scheme than all others... -- Config of pure-ftpd need to be simplified. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 477] Re: Config of pure-ftpd need to be simplified.
I thought the pure-ftpd package would simplify my installation of the software but when I came across this problem I quickly removed it, compiled manually from the sources and wrote my own init.d script instead. Why? Because pureftpd SHIPS with both a perl and a python script to launch the daemon from a single config file already. Whoever designed this ludicrous package clearly had no intention of ever using the software at all. There is simply no reason to reinvent this software with any crazy distribution paradigms: one documented configuration file, job done. -- Config of pure-ftpd need to be simplified. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I agree with this. The pure-ftpd command line configuration is very simple, but this 1 option = 1 file wrapper used in the ubuntu package is very unconfortable.

[Bug 477] Re: Config of pure-ftpd need to be simplified.
pure-ftpd comes with its own wrapper script (configuration-file/pure- config.*) which will build the command line options from a configuration file (which could be /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf).
