[Bug 577165] Re: Typo in etc/init/vsftpd.conf

[Imre Gergely]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: vsftpd
  
         [ -d /var/run/vsftpd/emply ] || install -m 755 -o root -g root -d
  /var/run/vsftpd/empty
  
  Obviously "emply" is not the same as "empty".
  
- IMPACT: very low. vsftpd needs an empty directory for chroot environment,
- according to comments in vsftpd.conf:
+ IMPACT: very low. vsftpd needs an empty directory for chroot
+ environment, according to comments in vsftpd.conf:
  
  # This option should be the name of a directory which is empty.  Also, the
  # directory should not be writable by the ftp user. This directory is used
  # as a secure chroot() jail at times vsftpd does not require filesystem
  # access.
  secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd/empty
  
- The upstart script in /etc/init/vsfptd.conf checks for this directory and
- it created it with the proper permissions IF there is no such directory.
- As the script in Lucid has a typo in the checking part, the condition is 
- never true and the directory gets created no matter what.

  This is fixed in Maverick. Patch is attached for Lucid.
  
  TEST CASE:
  
  There is no visible problem to reproduce. See IMPACT above.
  
- Without the patch the directory creation happens every time, with the patch
- it happens ONLY if the directory does not exist.

  REGRESSION POTENTIAL: low/none.
  
  NOTE: as this is not a serious bug, it should be SRU'd together with
- #648202 and/or #629234 .
+ #648202 which also corrects a bug in init/vsftpd.conf.
