Public bug reported:
When logging on using a regular account with a non-encrypted home
directory vsftpd fails with the following lines written to the syslog:
Jan 13 11:00:31 shusaku vsftpd: pam_ecryptfs: Passphrase file wrapped
Jan 13 11:00:31 shusaku vsftpd: pam_ecryptfs: Unable to rewrap passphrase file
Jan 13 11:00:31 shusaku vsftpd: Failed to detect wrapped passphrase version:
Permission denied
Jan 13 11:00:31 shusaku vsftpd: Error attempting to unwrap passphrase from
file [/var/ftp/import/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase]; rc = [-13]
It results in two spawned vsftpd daemons running.
I solved the issue by creating an adapted version of common-auth, named
it common-auth-vsftpd and adjusted it as follows:
# auth optional pam_ecryptfs.so unwrap
In pam.d/vsftpd I call the new common-auth-vsftpd (instead of common-
auth) as follows:
@include common-auth-vsftpd
This solved the issue. But in my opinion vsftpd should not fail in the
first place with the default /etc/pam.d files in place.
