Bug 19415 – Extending oftpd init script configuration options.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description James Michael Fultz 2003-04-16 07:33:26 UTC]

oftpd's init script currently recognizes only the two required options for
starting oftpd.  However, it may be desirable to start oftpd with some of its
other supported options.

diff for my changed oftpd init script

I've changed oftpd's init script so that it supports all of oftp'd relevant
options.  I configure these new option variables via `/etc/conf.d/oftpd'. 
Should `FTPUSER' and `FTPHOME' possibly be moved there also?

[Comment 3 James Michael Fultz 2003-04-16 07:43:47 UTC]

Oops!  I meant `FTPROOT' rather than `FTPHOME' in my Additional Comment #1.  Sorry for the confusion.

please try to get all config options into one file, whos located in /etc/conf.d/oftpd

I've made a patch for the oftpd init script so that all options are set via
`/etc/conf.d/oftpd'.

example `/etc/conf.d/oftpd'

This is a new `/etc/conf.d/oftpd' which includes all options for oftpd.

this support is in oftpd, and this bug should've been closed a while ago...
