Weirdly enough, despite this check, sometimes it still happens that the service doesn't restart, but only on an openSUSE10.0 install with vsftpd-2.0.3-6 When I use the management script at home, on openSUSE 10.2 and with vsftpd-2.0.5-24 the restart always succeeds the first time without a hitch.
Off the top of my head, could it be that port 21 is still in use (by an open session perhaps) so it can't bind to the port?
Not likely. And there would be an error in the logs if it was the case afaik.
But is this really necessary just because an account is added, deleted or changed? vsftpd uses pam, so it should get updated properly just like any other service
You know what? You were right.. I thought I read somewhere that a restart was needed, but it isn't, a change in the db is implemented immediate. That saves me yet another headache.
