It would seem at first sight to be simpler; but presumably the problem was that there are bugs in the implementation in the Lucid kernel (and upstream) that won't necessarily *only* impact vsftpd users, although we were the ones who first reported it. Certainly from my practical point of view I'd have been happy with a simple vsftpd update to remove the problem. :-) The bug being in the kernel, and backporting the fix to it being deemed too complicated (see nearer the top of this bug report thread) the decision was therefore to disable the feature. To those that depend on the feature, ie: lxc users (aside: i hadn't heard of that! after googling i may want to use it now!), given the feature is buggy in the lucid - and upstream - kernel *anyway*, maybe the appropriate action is to use the maverick backport kernel? -- Rachel -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/720095 Title: vsftpd causes a vmalloc space leak in Lucid -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
