Created attachment 394526 [details] patch to vsftpd.logrotate it is possible to run multiple virtual ftp servers using vsftpd. this is accomplished by creating multiple configuration files each with a unique listen_port or listen_address and placing them into /etc/vsftpd/ with unique service names of the form "vsftpd.server-1.conf", "vsftpd.server-2.conf", etc. the current vsftpd.init script correctly handles this situation and assumes the system administrator creates symlinks in /etc/init.d/ that link back to vsftpd, such as vsftpd.server-1 -> vsftpd and vsftpd.server-2 -> vsftpd much like net.eth0 is symlinked to net.lo. however, vsftpd.logrotate cannot handle the multiple log files that may be created by multiple configuration files. following the template used by the init script, the log files would reasonably be named vsftpd.server-1.log and vsftpd.server-2.log. the current vsftpd.logrotate file contains: /var/log/vsftpd.log { missingok notifempty } i believe it should contain: /var/log/vsftpd*.log { missingok notifempty } in addition, since /etc/logrotate.conf already contains the "notifempty" command, i believe it can be removed from vsftpd.logrotate: /var/log/vsftpd*.log { missingok }
I'd rather keep notifempty since the main logrotate conf file may change in the future. I applied the rest of your patch without revbump. thanks + 01 Mar 2015; Markos Chandras <hwoarang@gentoo.org> files/vsftpd.logrotate: + Amend logrotate file to handle multiple servers.
