ftpbase create new ftp user with homedir /home/ftp: # ll -d /home/ftp/ drwxr-xr-x 2 ftp root 48 Sep 23 12:05 /home/ftp/ by default vsftpd not successfull use this dir problem appear describe at http://www.vsftpdrocks.org/faq/ Q) Help! I'm getting the error message "refusing to run with writable anonymous root". A) vsftpd is protecting against dangerous configurations. The cause of this message is usually dodgy ownership of the ftp home directory. The home directory should NOT be owned by the ftp user itself. Neither should it be writable by the ftp user. A way to fix this is: chown root ~ftp; chmod -w ~ftp suggest change ftpbase for current access to ftp dir or add info to vsftpd ebuild about this incident
Odd, by default ftpbase creates the homedir as owned by root:root Attach the output of `emerge --info` please

Heh, someone changed enewuser todo that after I wrote ftpbase then. I've fixed ftpbase to change owner to root:ftp if the home dir was created by enewuser. Thanks for finding where the fault was :)
