Package: vsftpd
Version: 2.0.3-1.0.1
Severity: important

My configuration has remained the same for ages now, only aptitude
update has been changing on this server.  At some point vsftpd stopped
working (it required ssl connections) but I fiddled with some settings
and it started working again (sorry I do not remember what I did).
However, I think I ended up with the same vsftpd configuration as I
started with.  In the end I chalked it up to FileZilla bug (the only
client I had available at that particular moment).

However, it again (a month or so late) showed it's ugly head.  But I
had no time to fool with it for a while.  Today, I managed to do a
little digging.  No one else on the net seems to be having the same
issue.

Basically, I see two problems:  One, using filezilla, who does not ask
for features before login, issues "AUTH SSL" (or TLS) and receives
"500 Command not understood".  Two, using lftp, who does ask for
features bofer login, does not see "AUTH SSL" (or TLS) in the feature
list, so assumes he cannot issue it and fails to login, because the
server responds "530 Non-anonymous sessions must use encryption".

I had tried creating a new key, restarting the daemon, etc.  As I said I
had a working configuration for over a year.  Nothing seems to jar
vsftpd back into working as it did.
