Package: proftpd-basic
Version: 1.3.3a-6squeeze4
Severity: important
Every time my /var/log/proftpd/proftpd.log gets long enough to be rotated
by the logrotate job supplied with the package, proftpd is killed instead of
restarted.
It seems that the logrotate job does:
# reload could be not sufficient for all logs, a restart is safer
invoke-rc.d proftpd restart 2>/dev/null >/dev/null || true
This looks reasonable enough, but the first two lines of the log file after
rotation are:
May 27 06:27:49 mybox proftpd[4847] mybox.example.com: Failed binding to
0.0.0.0, port 21: Address already in use
May 27 06:27:49 mybox proftpd[4847] mybox.example.com: Check the ServerType
directive to ensure you are configured correctly.
Perhaps the restart component of the init script is not properly verifying
ProFTPD has exited before restarting it?
My configuration is as described at
http://www.dnorth.net/2012/02/27/sftpscp-without-shell-access-on-debian/
This problem also seems to have been found in Ubuntu:

Note that unlike the guy in the Ubuntu thread, I do *not* have any
passphrase-protected keys involved in
my setup.
