Very Secure FTP Daemon - Written from Scratch
Vsftpd is an FTP server, or daemon. The "vs" stands for Very Secure.
Obviously this is not a guarantee, but the entire codebase was written
with security in mind, and carefully designed to be resilient to
attack.
Recent evidence suggests that vsftpd is also extremely fast (and this
is before any explicit performance tuning!). In tests against wu-ftpd,
vsftpd was always faster, supporting over twice as many users in some
tests.

- Apply "vsftpd-support-dsa-only-setups.patch" to disable the problematic default setting for rsa_cert_file. Upstream initializes that value to "/usr/share/ssl/certs/vsftpd.pem" and vsftpd won't start up if that file does not exist (or if it does not contain an RSA certificate). Therefore, users who copy a DSA certificate into that location or properly configure a DSA certificate via dsa_cert_file without explicitly disabling the RSA certificate won't be able to start vsftpd.
