Bug 31465 – Reverse DNS lookups fail in proftpd 1.2.9rc3

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Henno Schooljan 2003-10-18 18:45:21 UTC]

The new proftpd-1.2.9rc3 ebuild fails to reverse DNS hosts, according to the 
system logs, regardless of UseReverseDNS setting (which is on by default 
anyway).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Merge proftpd-1.2.9rc3
2. Set UseReverseDNS to on (or comment the line)
3. Reload the daemon
4. Log into the FTP server to record a login into the logs
5. Check logs to see an IP address instead of a hostname

Actual Results:  
Logs show IP adresses instead of hostnames

Expected Results:  
Logs show hostnames

I am experiencing the same problem.
I have added a patch from upstream cvs which should address this problem.

Please test the updated ebuild and let me know if you find any problems.

The updated ebuild solves the problem over here.

[Comment 3 Stewart (RETIRED) 2003-11-05 19:08:12 UTC]

Looks like the patch fixed this, as well as the release of 1.2.9 (tested;
reverse DNS works in the 1.2.9 release)
