Most of us understand that, but then, what is Tim saying about pam_vsd while we're talking about something out of the limits of user authentication ? Got my point ? Where Tim says : > pam_vsd was introduced to remove the need for patching some of the add-on > packages, ie proftp. What are we really talk about ? I suppose he is talking about user authentication (ie. support for +ftp priv on a vs), but our argument goes for the +chrtftp priv > I believe (though have not had time to check) that the > proftp provided with packages from 1.4.9 is not actually patched in any > way so does not respond to configuration within VSD specific files. Thats correct Tim, the proftpd package is not patched. Here's a ProFTPd-1.2.4 patched rpm version, and all the required files/references for individual compilation : http://www.c-ber.net/software/freevsd/RH7.2/ Btw, i just installed a new RH 7.2 system to test the skel and the modified scripts and i realize that the admin user cannot give +chrtftp priv only if the admin user has the +chrtftp priv. 1.- Its totally nonsense to me that the admin needs to have +chrtftp priv to set thatkind of right, and 2.- Why was this change ? Previous versions of freevsd admin didnt required the chrtftp priv to grant it. Does this has anything to do with the fact that the ProFTPd package provided by FreeVSD-1.4.9-2 does not include chrtftp patch (support) ?
