} this is a feature. } here's the start() function for /etc/init.d/vsftpd: } } start() { } # Start daemons. } } if [ -d /etc/vsftpd ] ; then } for i in `ls /etc/vsftpd/*.conf`; do } site=`basename $i .conf` } echo -n $"Starting $prog for $site: " } /usr/sbin/vsftpd $i & } RETVAL=$? } [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && { } touch /var/lock/subsys/$prog } success $"$prog $site" } } } echo } done } else } RETVAL=1 } fi } return $RETVAL } } } } look at the loop that starts on the fifth line of the function; this } loops through every .conf file in the vsftpd config directory (thus } enabling you to run multiple ftp sites with different configurations } off of a single machine). } } if you want your backup file to be exempt, call it "vsftp.conf.bak" } instead. i'm surprised this issue hasn't bitten you earlier. } } -steve
interesting, i didnt think of looking there at the time...
and you are right, when i save files i usually go the other way around... like
cp -a something.conf something.conf.bak
im not sure i would consider it a feature though ;->
realistically, it is something that should have to be "enabled" or "toggled", yet... im not the boss of the upstreams
thanks :-)
