Bug 33648 – vsftpd doesn't run standalone + version bump

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Matt Taylor 2003-11-16 17:42:08 UTC]

After emerging vsftpd and trying to start it w/ it's initscript it prints this:
# /etc/init.d/vsftpd start
 * /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf must contain background=YES in order to start vsftpd
from /etc/init.d/vsftpd

After adding that to my vsftpd.conf and trying to start it again it prints this:
# /etc/init.d/vsftpd start
 * Starting vsftpd...
500 OOPS: vsftpd: does not run standalone, must be started from inetd     [ !! ]

Looking thought the man page tells me I need to add listen=YES to run standalone

Also, version 1.2.1 is out and copying the ebuild works fine.  The gentoo patch
needs minor modification to apply cleanly.  Attached is the new patch and
modification to the initscript.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.try to start vsftpd
2.follow error directions
3.try to start again

Actual Results:  
failed to start

Expected Results:  
started

init script fix checked in. emerge vsftpd-1.2.0-r1 again if you want it with that version.

vsftpd-1.2.1 in portage as ~x86. thanks for the new patch.
