i wanted to change it to /srv/ftp soon anyway (debconf question with
said default). however, in the case here, i don't think it's a policy
violation.

don not report multiple issues in one bug report, but fill seperate bug
reports for ech of them the next time please.

that was already elaborated in the bug report but i agree that it could
be made easier to change for the user if he really wants to.

Bug#515853: 1) A policy violation? 2) unacceptable pam settings?

2009-02-17 Thread shaul Karl
Package: vsftpd
Version: 2.0.7-2
Severity: serious

1) vsftpd.postinst creates /home/ftp. I think that this is a policy violation  
because packages should not create home directories under /home/. In addition, 
some users would prefer other arrangements.

2) The new pam.d/vsftpd breaks my usage of virtual users. I think that the 
problem is described in #333187. I think that many sites would use ftp logins 
that are not found in the traditional unix users db.

3) As an aside, I wish there were a /var/log/vsftpd/ directory. Didn't I 
mentioned that when asking for a /etc/vsftpd/ directory? Shouldn't the init 
script consult the conf file about the path of the log file?
