Enabling root access to vsftpd

It took me a while to figure out due to misleading information over the vast Internet suggesting to search for non existing /etc/vsftpd.users or something like this.

Thing you have to do is to edit /etc/ftpusers and remove root from there.

Suppose you are on a Linux box with multiple NICs.

It happens that there is one of them that loads with a driver disturbing test/activity you’re doing and you want to exclude it from modprobe.

You should edit file /etc/modprobe/blacklist and add there the driver name used by the card you want to get rid of, as follows:

/etc/modprobe.conf

[snip]
blacklist 8139cp
blacklist 8139too
[snip]

The example above (no, you don’t have to add snips, it is just to show that this is part of a bigger file…) will avoid Linux to probe for Realtek based NICs.
