Package: vsftpd Version: 2.3.2-3 Severity: important Default configuration of vsftpd after installation on Debian 6.01 sparc64:
============================================================== $ ftp localhost Connected to localhost. 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection ftp> ============================================================== It looks like vsftpd is forking for the new user, but then the forked process drops the connection (and never exits). If I recall this is not what happens by default on i386, so the bug appears to be architecture-specific. Various attempts to fix it by modifying configuration files have failed, so it may be a bug in the binary. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: sparc (sparc64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-sparc64-smp (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages vsftpd depends on: ii adduser 3.112+nmu2 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcap2 1:2.19-3 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libpam-modules 1.1.1-6.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam0g 1.1.1-6.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-4squeeze1 SSL shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.q-19 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii netbase 4.45 Basic TCP/IP networking system Versions of packages vsftpd recommends: ii logrotate 3.7.8-6 Log rotation utility vsftpd suggests no packages. -- debconf information: vsftpd/directory: /srv/ftp vsftpd/username: ftp -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
