I can confirm this exists on Lucid, and the proposed fixes work also. One thing I don't get is, where does this line appear:
echo "${CONFFILE}: listen disabled - service will not start" I couldn't find it anywhere, shouldn't it appear on the console when I do 'start vsftpd' ? ** Changed in: vsftpd (Ubuntu Lucid) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/648202 Title: vsftpd started even if not in standalone mode -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
