Description Bastien Nocera 2005-10-24 12:42:48 UTC 
vsftpd-2.0.1-5.EL4.3-i38

When running vsftpd as a stand-alone FTP daemon (not in xinetd), vsftpd will not
close its stderr or stdout.
This makes "/etc/init.d/vsftpd start | tee" fail. The tee is used in scripts to
capture the output of the init script.
