Yesterday I had to install Vserver for my company. I did it few times in the past (my last post about that) but this was the first time I had to install Pure-Ftpd on it.

Seems that it is not possible, _afaik_ (please send me some feedbacks if you did) because Pure-Ftpd needs the capabilities (CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES) and I wasn't able to bypass it, even with the bcapabitilies of Vserver.

pure-ftpd: (?@?) [ERROR] Unable to switch capabilities : Operation not permitted

The only way of making Pure-Ftpd work was to recompile the package with the option --without-capabilities.

You will find the last recompiled Pure-Ftpd debian package here.

PS: This time I tried the vserv-patched debian kernel and not mine, it works pretty well, nice jobs DDs !
