Package: vsftpd Version: 3.0.2-14 Severity: minor message "vsftpd failed - probably invalid config." is received during boot. Yet the server started normally. This message is issued by /etc/init.d/vsftpd. This message is not issued on every boot, only occasionally.
This appears to be a timing problem. The server is started asynchronously from this script. The script then immediately looks for the PID file; and if it doesn't find it issues the above error message. But the server may not yet have had time to create the PID file. Adding "sleep 1" between start-stop-daemon --start --background -m --oknodo --pidfile /var/run/vsftpd/vsftpd.pid --exec ${DAEMON} and _PID="$(if [ -e /var/run/vsftpd/vsftpd.pid ]; then cat /var/run/vsftpd/vsftpd.pid; fi)" seems to fix the problem for me. -- .''`.
