Package: vsftpd
Version: 2.0.7-1
Severity: minor
We had a problem using heartbeat with /etc/init.d/vsftpd. When vsftpd
is already running and the initscript is invoked a second time with
"start" error code 1 is returned.
According to the Debian Policy[1] error code 0 is expected. Find attached a patch which solved our
problem.

"The init.d scripts must ensure that they will behave sensibly (i.e.,
returning success and not starting multiple copies of a service) if
invoked with start when the service is already running, or with stop when
it isn't, and that they don't kill unfortunately-named user processes. The
best way achieve this is usually to use start-stop-daemon with the
--oknodo option."
