gproftpd is pretty good but I think it should be patched for Gentoo so that it edits /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf not /etc/proftpd.conf Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. > emerge info Portage 2.0.49-r15 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.2-r8, 2.4.20-gentoo-r8 ) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-gentoo-r8 i686 Intel(R) Celeron(TM) CPU 1100 MHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.12 distcc 2.11.2 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disable d] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share /config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs sandbox buildpkg ccache userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ http://gent oo.mirrors.pair.com/ http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ http://ftp.easynet.nl/m irror/gentoo/ http://gentoo.seren.com/gentoo http://adelie.polymtl.ca/ http://mi rrors.tds.net/gentoo http://ftp.gentoo.skynet.be/pub/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirro r.sdv.fr http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://mail.sarai.kit/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 oss apm avi crypt cups encode foomaticdb gif jpeg libg++ libwww mad mpe g ncurses nls pdflib png quicktime spell truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib alsa gdbm be rkdb slang readline arts aalib svga tcltk mysql X sdl gpm tcpd pam ssl perl pyth on esd imlib oggvorbis gnome gtk qt kde motif opengl mozilla ldap cdr apache2 cu rl dga fam flash gtk2 gtkhtml i8x0 imap java javascript jikes lcms maildir mbox mldonkeypango mmx mozcalendar mozinterfaceinfo moznoirc mozp3p mozsvg mozxmlterm oav offensive openssh ppds samba slp sse tiff type1 wmf xgetdefault xine xml xv id -mikmod video_cards_i810"
GProFTPD 8.1.4 has been introduced to the tree; does the problem persist?
Yes.
Created attachment 32819 [details] revised ebuild with new proftpd.conf location This revision has the path for the proftpd.conf file set to the proftpd default of /etc/proftpd. I also added einfo statement for instructions on specifying another proftpd.conf location. Unless there is some reason to keep the old ebuild setting of looking in /etc/ this ebuild is ready to go into portage.
Created attachment 32897 [details] gproftpd-8.1.6.ebuild Bug 50813 contains this ebuild as well this is the fixed ebuild bumped to version 8.1.6 one of these bugs could be closed
fixed and version bump added. Thankyou.
