Actually, the default configuration is fine. I launch vsftpd with xinetd and do not create the /var/run/vfstpd/empty at startup like it is done by init.d script. Sorry, I didn't check the init script before creating this bug (since I do not use it).
However, a comment in vsftpd.conf file telling that the secure_chroot_dir is referenced in /etc/init.d/vsftpd would be nice. -- secure_chroot_dir in /var/run/vsftpd disappears each time the system is restarted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/552067 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to vsftpd in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
