Public bug reported:
Since latest kernel upgrade off ubuntu natty 11.04. proftpd start at boot
failed with message : - Fatal: MasqueradeAddress: unable to resolve
"xxxxxxx.xxx.cx" on line 177 of '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf'. I'm using a
relatively avanced proftpd config. With first just standalone base server on
standard port for local network only and a virtual with tls (ftps) user apart
who is jailed to certain maps and limited in possible ftpd commands. Accessible
trough internet. Masquerading is necessary to have the passive ports opened to
corect ip by the client.
I use network-manager to configure the interface. (it's easy with the applet to
see your network status) .
When configure the proftpd without MasqueradeAddress it does start fine.
This all occur on my latest pc with intel core duo E8600 2 X 3,33 Ghz, and
raptor hd's.
On my older pc amd64 athlon x2 dual core standard hd's with same ubuntu natty
same configuration no problem. proftpd start always at boot time.
I figured out that with a fast pc proftpd starts whiles the network is not
fully up when working trough network manager. Which causes a start failure as
it cannot resolve the MasqueradeAddress yet.
I tried to give it the highest possible start number into runlevel 2,3,4,5 .
But still the same problem. When I configured my network adapter trough
/network/interfaces no problem proftpd started well.(But I like to have the
network status with the nm-applet) With inetd also no problem but I do not want
a pid for each session.
I do now found out a solution (that's why a fill a bug repport it would be nice
to include this into further ubuntu versions)
I first removed the standard upstart with update-rc.d -f proftpd remove.
Created an upstart conf into /etc/init
named proftpd.conf
# Proftpd
#Use this instead of standard(old) rc.d When using network manager
#and dns masquer address Otherwise proftp start may fail due to no dns lookup
avbl yet
#during boottime. With this proftpd will only start when network device is up
#
description "proftpd"
start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE!=lo)
stop on stopping dbus
exec /etc/init.d/proftpd start
Now proftpd does start fine again at boot time. And is also avbl without
local login.
