Sent again (2005-8-22) as the first post (19/08/05) didn't appear on the list. Is there something wrong in this message?

OS: Debian Sarge GNU/Linux vsftpd: 2.0.3-1 kernel: 2.6.11-1-686 $ di Filesystem Mount Megs Used Avail %used fs Type /dev/md0 / 9388,7 2005,9 6905,9 26% ext3 tmpfs /dev 10,0 2,9 7,1 29% tmpfs tmpfs /dev/shm 252,1 0,0 252,1 0% tmpfs /dev/md3 /home 142984,1 116260,2 26723,9 81% xfs /dev/md4 /home/backup 346384,9 32,1 342833,7 1% ext3 /dev/md1 /var 25340,4 1781,0 23044,5 9% ext3 1- Even with this configuration, uploaded files had the following permissions (0600) -rw------- 1 107 65534 2025 Aug 19 08:02 index.html [...] chown_uploads=YES chown_username=ftp anon_umask=022 file_open_mode=0666 The umask only affected the creation of directories (I tried different umasks). 2- After commenting the "chown" entries like this #chown_uploads=YES #chown_username=ftp anon_umask=022 file_open_mode=0666 permissions worked well, e.g. -rw-r--r-- 1 107 65534 2025 Aug 19 08:47 index.html 3- With the following configuration, the ftp client got an OOPS: ftp> put index.html local: index.html remote: index.html 200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV. 500 OOPS: fchown ftp> ls OOPS: priv_sock_get_result 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection. Config: chown_uploads=YES chown_username=(normal-user) anon_umask=022 #file_open_mode=0666 I tried this last config. with a normal user just to experiment. The log /var/log/vsftpd.log shows nothing relevant. I have settled with the configuration shown in number 2, as it works for me. Questions: 1- Is this behaviour of vsftpd normal or is this a bug? (I might have been doing something wrong in the config) 2- Where or how can I get error messages? Just to try, I put a wrong entry in the config file (something like this_is_rubbish), but I saw no error messages in any of the following files: /var/log/vsftpd.log /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog.
