• FTP server in 6.9.2 still auto starts on reboot

    The Fix Common Problems plugin says there is a bug in 6.1.9 and 6.2b21 that will re-enable the FTP server on reboot. I know the general opinion is it is a non issue as long as there are no users defined but I am working on an enhancement to address the security issues with the users.

     

    Either way, I think it happens because /etc/inetd.conf is replaced on reboot and in the stock one the ftp line is not commented out.

      

    ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  vsftpd

     

    If someone can help me confirm this I can see about fixing it on the FTP enhancement I am working on. My thought would be to save some FTP enable/disable status in /boot/config/vsftpd.cfg and then something in /boot/config/go that would read it. But I don't know if that is the right approach?
