I haven't been doing that for quite some time now, except when I'm thanking you all for help, in which case I believe it's easier for all concerned. Do you disagree?

clearly documented in the vsftpd docs and config files. Start by looking
there.

It almost seems as if you are relying on this list to be your sysadmin
and your sp0onfeeder.

eg. Start by indicating what docs you have looked and what is it that
you didnt find.
