vsftpd uses 32-bit capabilities

[lwizard]

is this normal?

kernel: warning: `vsftpd' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)

Hi,
this warning relates to the capabilities of the Linux kernel that Asus uses for their devices. The vsftpd-2.0.4 source hasn't been patched correctly. The fix is to add the line:

#undef VSF_SYSDEP_HAVE_CAPABILITIES
#define VSF_SYSDEP_HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE
#define VSF_SYSDEP_HAVE_LIBCAP

to the vsftpd-2.0.4/sysdeputil.c source code file. This warning is still in the latest vsftpd v3.0.2, which I have patched before compiling Merlin's source code. After the patch, the syslog warning no longer occurs.

I am seeing this warning on my RT-68C running the latest Merlin FW 380.64.

+1 same to me with AC88U running Merlin FW 380.64

Please where is the file located?

Thank you! Happy New Year!

I am seeing it on AC1900P Asuswrt merlin 380.65_4.

I am seeing it on AC1900P Asuswrt merlin 380.65_4.

This bug is still there with AC1900P 384.4_2

Not really a bug per se - it's just a statement in the log reminding the devs at some point to rebuild it for 64-bit.

There's still a lot of legacy 32-bit code in the newer AsusWRT builds - they've ported over the "important" stuff on a case by case basis where performance can be improved.

Only the RT-AC86U and GT-AC5300 have 64-bit CPUs, so everything is 32-bit.

The only exception with these two routers is Strongswan, probably so it can properly interface with the 64-bit kernel crypto modules.
