Hi

We have several systems that monitor vsftpd to make sure its up and ok, but keep getting

alerts like this

Date	Host	Service	Action	Description
08 Jun 10:34:36 +0100	britishland-ash.telensa.com	vsftpd	Alert	process PID changed from 28483 to 3826
08 Jun 10:34:36 +0100	britishland-ash.telensa.com	vsftpd	Alert	process PPID changed from 3826 to 1

from mmonit (currently trialing). Does anyone have any suggestion how we can avoid this?

(BTW: the problem appears to be that the parent spawns a child, which spawns a child, which confuses monit)

 4108 ?        Ss     0:20 /usr/sbin/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
27515 ?        Ss     0:00  \_ /usr/sbin/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
27517 ?        S      0:00      \_ /usr/sbin/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
