Bug 102725 – gproftpd insists on using files that don't exist

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andrew 2005-08-16 10:05:14 UTC]

Gproftpd is ./configured incorrectly so /var/lib/log/secure   
and /var/lib/logxferlog are assumed to be the correct files for login   
(success/failures) and file transfer information respectively.     

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge gproftpd 
2.gproftpd 
3.Click the "Files" or "Security" tabs  
 
Actual Results:  
A window is displayed which tells you /var/lib/log/{secure|xferlog} do not 
exist. 

Expected Results:  
Under the security tab: Login success/failure information  
Under the Files tab: Files transferred via ftp 

I made a new ebuild for the package which works for me.  All I added was: 
--localstatedir=/var to the econf line.  The ebuild is attached.

If a maintainer is needed for the ebuild I can try and fill that role.

Well, not really I'm afraid, only Gentoo devs have CVS access.

Fixed in 8.2.8.
