Description Michael Wagner 2010-08-18 19:56:21 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100723 SUSE/3.6.8-0.1.1 Firefox/3.6.8

Vsftpd fails to run in standalone mode because of the following part of vsftpd.conf (if it has been configured via YaST2):

# This directive enables listening on IPv6 sockets. To listen on IPv4 and IPv6
# sockets, you must run two copies of vsftpd with two configuration files.
# Make sure, that one of the listen options is commented !!
listen_ipv6=YES


YaST2 adds "listen=YES" at the end of the file. See vsftpd's man page:

listen_ipv6
    Like the listen parameter, except vsftpd will listen on an IPv6 socket instead of an IPv4 one. This parameter and the listen parameter are mutually exclusive.

    Default: NO 


Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
500 OOPS: run two copies of vsftpd for IPv4 and IPv6

Please send yast2 logs ( http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Report_a_YaST_bug ). You will be certainly asked for them by the assignee.
