** Description changed:
Binary package hint: vsftpd
[ -d /var/run/vsftpd/emply ] || install -m 755 -o root -g root -d
/var/run/vsftpd/empty
Obviously "emply" is not the same as "empty".
- IMPACT: very low. vsftpd needs an empty directory for chroot environment,
- according to comments in vsftpd.conf:
+ IMPACT: very low. vsftpd needs an empty directory for chroot
+ environment, according to comments in vsftpd.conf:
# This option should be the name of a directory which is empty. Also, the

secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd/empty
- The upstart script in /etc/init/vsfptd.conf checks for this directory and
- it created it with the proper permissions IF there is no such directory.
- As the script in Lucid has a typo in the checking part, the condition is
- never true and the directory gets created no matter what.

This is fixed in Maverick. Patch is attached for Lucid.
TEST CASE:
There is no visible problem to reproduce. See IMPACT above.
- Without the patch the directory creation happens every time, with the patch
- it happens ONLY if the directory does not exist.

REGRESSION POTENTIAL: low/none.
NOTE: as this is not a serious bug, it should be SRU'd together with
- #648202 and/or #629234 .
+ #648202 which also corrects a bug in init/vsftpd.conf.
