Modular proftpd

Show all headers | View raw

My extensive changes[1] to the proftpd build were not taken, and the error
messages were only papered over in the C souce. Here's the full thing as
a slackbuild for anyone that wants it:

ftp://atr2.ath.cx/pub/operating-systems/linux/slackbuilds/proftpd.tar.gz

Put the source[2] in the proftpd/ build directory and execute the build
script.

Summary of changes:
    Remove empty /usr/lib64/proftpd dir
    Move modules to own directory in /usr/libexec/proftpd
    Stop LDAP error spam
    Add /etc/rc.d run-control switch
    Add xferstats util
    Remove irrelevant doc for redis (redis builds require support not in Slackware)
    Remove from build the reference to non-existant README.mod_wrap file
    Use user/group already present in the system (ftp:ftp)
    Add auth-opt and more modules
    Added support for lastlog2, pcre2, and POSIX ACL
    Build script clean-up (proftpd has no .sgml or .pdf files)
    Set umask - if a umask 066 user su'd to root for the build, files would be installed wrong
    No longer shows error mod_ctrls/0.9.5: unable to chown local socket /var/run/proftpd.sock: No such file or directory on startup
    Add PROFTPD-MIB.txt for SNMP module
