The daemontools launcher for the publicfile httpd and ftpd will not launch said applications, due to the paths in the launchers being hardcoded to use the intended names for the binaries (/usr/bin/httpd and /usr/bin/ftpd), instead of the names given by the gentoo ebuild (/usr/bin/publicfile-httpd and /usr/bin/publicfile-ftpd). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install publicfile 2. Launch any publicfile server via the daemontools launcher. Actual Results: No HTTPd :( Expected Results: A working HTTPd.
