close 408912 thanks currently vsftpd stats a 'listener' process (pid is recored in the pid file, process is stopped through initscript stop), and spawns a process for every new connection (pids cannot be recorded, and processes are not killed through stop).
the naive approach would be to just do a killall vsftpd, however, that would kill all vsftpd processes, even those running in e.g. an container (LXC) or a chroot. the proper solution is to use a cgroup here, but that's not going to work with sysvinit really (or rather, it doesn't make much sense since it's going to be linux only solution anyway, and on linux, one can just use systemd). so, in summary there's no better way than to just leave it as is, thus closing the bug. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Donnerbuehlweg 3, CH-3012 Bern Email: daniel.baum...@progress-technologies.net Internet: http://people.progress-technologies.net/~daniel.baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
