Public bug reported:
The default configuration file for vsftpd (/etc/vsftpd.conf) in natty
contains the following line:
rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem
However, this file does not exist, so any attempt to enable SSL
(ssl_enable=YES) will cause the following error to be logged in
/var/log/syslog
[ multiple respawning lines ]
Aug 23 11:41:02 peladon init: vsftpd main process ended, respawning
Aug 23 11:41:02 peladon init: vsftpd main process (8733) terminated with status
1
Aug 23 11:41:02 peladon init: vsftpd respawning too fast, stopped
This could be fixed in one of two ways:
1. Comment out the rsa_cert_file (it is uncommented by default) and add
a comment above it telling the user that they must supply the correct
filename before uncommenting.
2. Replace the rsa_cert_file line with the following two lines:
rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
rsa_private_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
These point to the default snakeoil certificate and private keys, which
are sufficient to get vsftpd up and running with SSL enabled.
