Virtual Users rules with @ in the username

[Marco Ceppi]

Binary package hint: vsftpd

When using virtual users and custom pam authentication vsftpd won't load "user_config_dir" rules if that username has an @ symbol - which many shared hosts use to distinguish FTP users for a certain account or username. Authentication occurs correctly - just not the rules for that user.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server
vsftpd: version 2.2.2

Thanks for the bug report, this seems to be reproducible so marking as confirmed, with a valid work around so setting priority to low.

Thanks.

There's a valid work around? What is it? Because the only valid work around I've found is "use ProFTPD"
