lost and found ( for me ? ): Ubuntu 13.10 vsftpd: error 500 OOPS: priv_sock_get

# vsftpd -v

vsftpd: version 3.0.2

When configuring vsftpd on Ubuntu 13.10, I saw the following error.

# ftp 127.0.0.1

Connected to 127.0.0.1.

500 OOPS: priv_sock_get_cmd

ftp>

To resolve this, add the following line to vsftpd.conf and restart vsftpd.

# tail -1 /etc/vsftpd.conf

seccomp_sandbox=no

# /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart

# ftp 127.0.0.1

Connected to 127.0.0.1.
