[Bug 723603] [NEW] vsftpd no longer supports both anonymous_enable and local_enable

[AlainKnaff]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: vsftpd

In 10.04, it is no longer possible to set up vsftpd in such a way that
it allows both anonymous and identified logins.

If you set the following in your vsftpd.conf, local users cannot login.
In older versions, this was still possible.

anonymous_enable=YES
local_enable=YES


---------
# lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
Release:        10.04

# apt-cache policy vsftpd
vsftpd:
  Installed: 2.2.2-3ubuntu6
  Candidate: 2.2.2-3ubuntu6
  Version table:
 *** 2.2.2-3ubuntu6 0
        500 http://lu.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Expected:
- both identified (aknaff) and anonymous (ftp) users should log in

What happened:
- identified user (aknaff) could not log in. Setting anonymous_enable to YES enables identified login (aknaff), but (obviously) disables anonymous (ftp) login
