/usr/share/vsftpd/empty is realy empty. If you can see .keep files a lot into gentoo file system. /home/.keep /var/.keep and ... I think that is feature of emerge (portage) system. And may be this is incorect feature, becouse on file system is to many .keep files: # find / -name .keep | wc 70 70 1450 Create .keep file into /usr/share/vsftpd/empty is not good idea becouse: (from man vsftp.conf) secure_chroot_dir This option should be the name of a directory which is empty. Also, the directory should not be writable by the ftp user. This directory is used as a secure chroot() jail at times vsftpd does not require filesystem access. Default: /usr/share/vsftpd/empty Rokas

yup this is fixed in the most recent ebuilds.
when I emerged -u vsftp, it still didn't make /usr/share/vsftpd/empty - i had to do it manually. i have 1.2.0 - latest version available...
