cannot launch vsftpd at system startup
Hi gang, I have read quite a few articles on how to start vsftpd at system bootup but nothing seems to work on my new and updated 6.2 STABLE machine. I have copied /usr/ports/ftp/vsftpd/files/vsftpd.sh.in to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vsftpd.sh and it is executable. In /etc/rc.conf I am placing: vsftpd_enable=YES and in vsftpd.conf: listen=YES background=YES I can't see the error when my machine boots but when I attempt to run the rc.d script manually I get: .: Can't open %%RC_SUBR%%: No such file or directory I can start the daemon at the command line: /usr/local/libexec/vsftpd I installed the port sysutils/rc_subr thinking it may help but it does not. I also reinstalled vsftpd with the make option RC_NG but it doesn't seem to do anything (isn't it supposed to install the rc.d script?). Any comments?

Mine are hard coded, which is from my installing them. Perhaps the port is
broken.

You should not have had to copy that file from the ports dir. The
%%RC_SUBR%% is normally replaced with the appropriate path during 'make
install'. I've seen this happen when a port fails to finish the install
due to errors. Unfortunately most how-to web pages say to run
make;make install;make clean
This doesn't allow you any time to see if any errors occurred or to see
any messages the port maintainer presents to you after install.
Are you certain your port installed without errors? I would try running
'make deinstall;make clean;make install' and then see if the port
properly installs the startup script with the vars expanded for you, or
if an error pops up.
