Description Gem 2011-05-20 06:59:09 UTC
Please add use flag for --without-banner option

Reproducible: Sometimes
Comment 1 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-05-20 09:50:23 UTC
There's no such option in the cofigure script of this package availabe:

breakmygentoo:~ # grep -i banner /var/tmp/portage/net-ftp/pure-ftpd-1.0.32/work/pure-ftpd-1.0.32/configure
breakmygentoo:~ #

What exactly do you expect from such a USE flag / configure option?
Comment 2 Gem 2011-05-20 10:47:11 UTC
Configuration includes this option
# -x [ In  normal  operation mode, authenticated users can read/write
#       files beginning with a dot ('.'). Anonymous users can't, for security reasons
#       (like changing banners or a forgotten .rhosts). When '-x' is used, authenticated
#       users can download dot-files, but not overwrite/create  them,  even  if they own
#       them. ]

This option allows you to add this standard banner 
220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [privsep] [TLS] ----------
220-You are user number 1 of 30 allowed.
220-Local time is now 14:39. Server port: 21.
220-This is a private system - No anonymous login
220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity.
but do not remove it

--without-banner feature allows to clean it up
220-FTP server ready.
220 This is a private system - No anonymous login
There is no way to do it otherwise

I am sorry for my english

Please take a look at the ChangeLog file of the source package and look for the changes of version 1.0.23 which has the following line:


 - --without-banner is gone. If you have a cookie file (-F), the default banner won't be displayed.


So unfortunately there's nothing I can do here.
