[Cooker] proftpd and tcp wrappers
Hi, Why isn't proftpd tcp wrapped by default? I understand that there has to be a reason for this, as it's been the case since 8.0 IIRC. Many have learned to put ALL:ALL in hosts.deny the first thing they do after installing a Linux system. And then open up service by service in hosts.allow. Unfortunately this doesn't work with proftpd as it's installed now. Even if you have ALL:ALL in hosts.deny it's possible to connect to your ftp server. Regards, Mattias

As you read the file name you see a "src" right before the rpm. That means it is not an rpm file , but it is a source rpm file, so that you should compile it. If you have bandwith, find one that is not src. or. run rpm to compile it for you rpm --rebuild proftpd-1.2.4-1mdk.src.rpm You will find the compiled package in /usr/src/RPM if I remember it right.

You installed the *source* package. The srpm does not get listed in the rpm database. If you go into /usr/src/RPM/SPECS you will see the proftpd.spec in there and can from there do "rpm -ba proftpd.spec" to rebuild the package.

[Cooker] proftpd 1.2.2 (release and rc2) big files corruption problem
Hi Proftpd 1.2.2 release and rc2 packages all have this bug on my 8.0 server: downloaded files >1mb in size are corrupted. I downloaded 1417694b tar.gz file 3 times over modem connection and got 100% file corruption. Tested with many ftp clients as well. All packages were rebuilt from src without any errors. rc1.3 from 8.0 distribution doesn't have this problem and works very well. Please test and don't include faulty versions in upcoming 8.1 release.

That makes sense. The installer picks the wrong ftp daemon to go with anonftp. Rob > On Fri Sep 15, 2000 at 09:15:50AM -0700, Robert Haddon wrote: > > > Proftpd is a package dependency of anonftpd.

No. When doing a GUI install, if you click on the anonftp package, the installer will automatically add proftpd as a dependency. > don't u mean wu-ftp > > > > Proftpd is a package dependency of anonftpd.

Re: [Cooker] proftpd install bug
Proftpd is a package dependency of anonftpd. So good idea or not, you have no choice.

[Cooker] proftpd install bug
Packages: proftpd & anonftp Version: (the one from 7.2 Beta1) The RPM install configures /etc/proftpd.conf for standalone mode AND /etc/inetd.conf super-server mode. This, of course, is invalid. It must be one or the other, but not both. Good work other than that. I'm really enjoying 7.2 so far. Regards, Robert Haddon

[Cooker] proftpd more secure than wuftpd?
I've follow the thread about wuftpd and proftpd.
I remember that there were some postings about proftpd
last year in the bugtraq. But before I did search the
archive there came a fresh posting:
