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 Server Team, which is subscribed to vsftpd in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/648202 Title: vsftpd started even if not in standalone mode -- 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
