Bug 223225 – net-ftp/vsftpd-2.0.6: doesn't stop when clients are downloading

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Vaclav Adamik 2008-05-22 16:02:02 UTC]

When a user is just downloading a file and vsftpd should be stopped via the initscript it effectively doesn't stop. This is because vsftpd spawns a process for a session which rund under a different pid that the one that gets killed vith start-stop-daemon.
To solve this problem i suggest changing the relevant line in /etc/init.d/vsftpd

-	start-stop-daemon --stop --exec /usr/sbin/vsftpd --pidfile "${VSFTPD_PID}"
+	start-stop-daemon --stop --exec /usr/sbin/vsftpd



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install vsftpd
2.Configure and run it
3.open a connection and start downloading a file
4.while downloading do /etc/init.d/vsftpd stop

Actual Results:  
vsftpd keeps running

Expected Results:  
vsftpd should be stopped

Looks reasonable to me, let me test this one and see where it leads me.
