I used to get this problem in gentoo too. I think the way vsftpd forks on startup fools start-stop-daemon.
The solution I used was to create (change, replace) the pid file AFTER startup in the init script, but there's probably better. ps -C vsftpd | cut -f 1 -d\ | tail -n 1 > /var/run/vsftpd/vsftpd.pid In the restart/start/reload(?) sections should fix it, but like I said, there's probably better solutions here. -Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
