:: Starting vsftpd FTP Deamon [FAIL]

infestdead · 2006-05-10 14:42:19

So this is the problem:
I installed vsftpd, using pacman, configured it and decided that I wanted it runnin at start up so put it in /etc/rc.conf in the DEAMONS=(... vsftpd).
When the system starts, everything is allright, but reports the vsftpd deamon [FAIL], when I log in and do ps aux | grep vsftpd i see it there, running. So if it has started why it reports [FAIL] ?
I tried other thing, remove it from /etc/rc.conf and start it this way after login - /etc/rc.d/vsftpd start, .. again reports [FAIL].. and again has started, then when i stop it (/etc/rc.d/vsfptd stop) i reports [DONE] and when i start it for the second time -> [DONE].. so only the first starting is buggy or whatever..... i don't know....

p.s. if i don't have vsftpd in /etc/rc.conf and ps aux | grep vsftp after login -> it's not there, so it's not starting from somewhere else...?

so... help me solve this...

Try adding the 'capabilities' module to the MODULES array in rc.conf and see if that changes anything.

Wouldn't that be the 'capability' module, not 'capabilities' ??

"ps aux |grep vsftpd" to check if there is a vsftpd daemon which is already running

"lsmod |grep capability " to check capability

I explained in my first post that even that it reports FAIL the deamon starts, if I stop it and start it again, then it reports DONE, only the first start of vsfptd is beeing reported inaccurately.

I was adviced to add capability to my modules array, so I did, and it's good and running, and..... nothing changed..as I reported in my second post....

I have the same "problem". When loaded from rc.conf, it [FAIL]s, but is running just fine anyway. It's a cosmetic defect... but it's irritating to see big red evil marks on bootup.

Here is a workaround if you are using vsftpd in listen mode. Add the line

background=YES

to your vsftpd.conf file. In the file /etc/rc.d/vsftpd line 11 should be

/usr/sbin/vsftpd &

Remove the '&' and vsftpd should start normally.
