[Bug 1208506] [NEW] vsftpd respawns too fast and fails on server boot with pasv_address & pasv_addr_resolve=YES

[chud]

Public bug reported:

I have just changed my vsftpd config for PASV mode with address
resolving (behind NAT)

pasv_min_port=21000
pasv_max_port=21050
pasv_addr_resolve=YES
pasv_address=abcdefghij.com

vsftpd wont start when server boots, presumably because it cant resolve
the address specified before the networking is up
