Bug Description

Binary package hint: upstart

The summary says it all.

Use case: I have several virtual machines on my notebook that I use for testing. The notebook itself takes on the role of server (smbd/nmbd, vsftps, ssh) for these virtual machine clients. Apart from this, the notebook is not intended as server, and keeping these services running unnecessarily is an avoidable security risk, so I like to just run them on demand.

Hello Siep, this is being worked on upstream right now:

I've not been able to find an existing bug report upstream or here in Ubuntu, so I'll go and and mark this as Triaged, and set importance to Wishlist.
