Bug Description

Binary package hint: vsftpd

userlist options doesn't work in vsftpd in Hardy 8.04. anonymous user can't login despite it has been listed in userlist_file (userlist_deny=NO userlist_enable=YES) See example.
This configuration worked well in Gutsy 7.10
Also I can't found any way to return the old behaviour (only enlisted in userlist_file users can login)

Sample vsftpd.conf file:

anonymous_enable=YES
pam_service_name=vsftpd
secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd
xferlog_enable=YES
dirmessage_enable=YES
listen=YES
userlist_deny=NO
userlist_enable=YES
userlist_file=/etc/vsftpd/user_list

Sample /etc/vsftpd/user_list file:
anonymous

Results of work:
$ ftp localhost
Connected to localhost.
220 (vsFTPd 2.0.6)
Name (localhost:seppel): anonymous
530 Permission denied.
Login failed.

what I discoverd is that vsfpt seems to parse not all user_list file , but just the second half of the file.

What i did is copy and paste users twice in user_list file and it worked
