Description

I'll build this in the main package as a DSO that needs manually loading if you want this functionality. I don't think there's any need to split off a subpackage for it since it's a small module and adds no extra dependencies. Curious as to why you want it though, given that even the upstream author thinks there are better alternatives and it's unlikely to work with DefaultRoot, which we enable by default. proftpd-1.3.2a-4.el5 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 5. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/proftpd-1.3.2a-4.el5 (In reply to comment #1) > I'll build this in the main package as a DSO that needs manually loading if you > want this functionality.

I wanted to use it for some simple upload notification. An alternative sounds like something worth looking into though. I was wanting to avoid doing something like an xferlog watcher... I'll see what else is out there -- do you have a pointer on upstream suggestions? Didn't stumble across anything in an initial search. Thanks. Upstream suggests logging to a FIFO and then having something sat on the end of the FIFO executing commands as needed: http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/modules/mod_exec.html#Usage proftpd-1.3.2a-4.el5 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 5 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update proftpd'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/EL-5/FEDORA-EPEL-2009-0382 I think upstream was being a bit coy about this module: it's included in 1.3.3rc1: http://www.proftpd.org/docs/RELEASE_NOTES-1.3.3rc1 Any feedback on the update? proftpd-1.3.2a-5.el5 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 5. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/proftpd-1.3.2a-5.el5 proftpd-1.3.2a-5.el5 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 5 testing repository.

Interesting... I'm still thinking your suggestion of using a FIFO may be the most secure way to go, but in the interim I am able to use this. Thanks much for the quick response! proftpd-1.3.2a-5.el5 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 5 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
