    vsftpd for ipv6 and ipv4

    I am running CentOs 4.6 and am trying to get vsftpd to work with ipv6 and ipv4 simultanously. ...using vsftpd

    Originally I had a single vsftp.conf file where listen=YES, and only ipv4 ftps would be successfull (as expected). I then commented out listen=YES and added listen_ipv6=YES, and only ipv6 ftps would be successfull (as expected). This confirmed ipv6 routing to the box.

    I read a few forums and help pages that suggested I would need two versions of vsftp running, so I have since created two files in /etc/vsftpd
    - vsftpd_ipv4.conf
    - vsftpd_ipv6.conf

    Both files are identical with the exception of the listen commands;

    vsftpd_ipv4.conf
    listen=YES
    #listen_ipv6=YES

    vsftpd_ipv4.conf
    #listen=YES
    listen_ipv6=YES

    I can see both file start;

    # /sbin/service vsftpd start
    Starting vsftpd for vsftpd_ipv4: [ OK ]
    Starting vsftpd for vsftpd_ipv6: [ OK ]
    # /sbin/service vsftpd status
    vsftpd (pid 10274) is running...


    ...but only the ipv4 ftps are working.

    Any idea what I am missing?

    vsftpd for ipv6 and ipv4

    What I have discovered is that what ever .conf file gets "started" first will have priority.

    I changed the names from;
    Starting vsftpd for vsftpd_ipv4: [ OK ]
    Starting vsftpd for vsftpd_ipv6: [ OK ]
    (where only ipv4 ftps would work)

    to;
    Starting vsftpd for vsftpd_ipv6: [ OK ]
    Starting vsftpd for zvsftp_ipv4: [ OK ]
    (where only ipv6 ftps would work)

    I still don't know how to correct this. If any one has any ideas it would be much appreciated.
