[Bug 918827] [NEW] vsftpd running on non-standart port by inetd failing after inetd restart

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have an openbsd-inetd installed and vsftpd launched by this lines in /etc/inetd.conf
 192.168.0.1:ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  vsftpd
x.x.x.x:2121   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  vsftpd /etc/vsftpd.conf.local
where x.x.x.x is my public ip address

By doing so i can run different config files. And it works great but until I do "service openbsd-inetd restart" command. 
After that ftp listing shows me 
drwxr-xr-x   11 1000     1000         4096 ??????. 19 14:16 Maildir
drwxr-xr-x    2 1000     1000         4096 ??????. 19 16:04 public_html

I still can change directory by entering it mannually but it is not comfortable since ftp clients like filezilla or firefox or other clients show  "??????. 19 14:16 Maildir" or a blank screen instead of "Maildir". 
the other instance of ftp (listening on port 21) works fine and shows 

drwxrwsrwx   11 109      120          4096 Jan 08 13:23 pub

After reboot the vsftpd listening on 2121 port works fine again and shows
drwxr-xr-x   11 1000     1000         4096 Jan 19 14:16 Maildir
drwxr-xr-x    2 1000     1000         4096 Jan 19 16:04 public_html
and firefox and filezilla and all other clients work fine again. But always restart server is not good idea. 

1) ubuntu server release
Description:    Ubuntu 11.10
Release:        11.10
2) kasak at mx:~$ apt-cache policy vsftpd
vsftpd:
  Установлен: 2.3.2-3ubuntu5.1
  Кандидат:   2.3.2-3ubuntu5.1
  Таблица версий:
 *** 2.3.2-3ubuntu5.1 0
        500 http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-security/main amd64 Packages

     2.3.2-3ubuntu5 0
        500 http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages
3) expected directories and files listing
4) listing shows directories and files forwarded by ??????. instead of month, and it makes  working with different clients incompatible
