Email addresses for root
I have been wondering for some time how Debian identifies a mail address for the root user and indeed any local users. I have recently cloned my server, changed hostname all correctly but any mail sent from root using mutt comes in as if from the previous server name and not the new one. I would like to know how to change this. I would also like to have local server root mail send to an external postmaster account and have never been able to do this either. I am using sendmail/spamassassin/mimedefang/clamav/lenny/squirrelmail/ courierimap my /etc/aliases file contains no mail addresses, just single word usernames. Can anyone tell me where these are held and how to have my root mail sent to an external postmaster mail address please?

Re: Proftpd and Debian
I managed to cobble something together. I used the lenny unstable build for my source rules I needed to add --enable-openssl to cure the build sanity over OPENSSL_cleanse. Then I did debian/rules clean Which failed miserably. Then debian/rules build this passed fine. make was fine. make build however was trying to move over mod_wrap2 to the DSO library but it had not compiled. So I fudged it with a build from the generic Lenny unstable as I don't need these libraries anyway. Thats now good for my production server (only kidding - its for in house use) Thanks for everones help here, at least I have something that I can use. jON -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Proftpd and Debian
Alternatively pay somebody nice to package it for you ;) I'm keen to get my hand dirty (ish) Steve, so I will give it a go. Its the debian/rules info I was after I think. cheers, jON -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Proftpd and Debian
Well Francesco doesn't advertise a VCS within the package so that's the only thing you can grab ATM. You maybe would like to join #proftpd on freenode and ask him yourself (User frankie) or write him a mail. sorry Sven, I am not sure which of these is abbreviation for a sentence or has another meaning. Can you just clarify what VCS and ATM are, I can probably google and find freenode - something else I have not heard of. However, I have always tried to avoid contacting developers directly as they must get bombarded and as a developer myself, I know what that must be like. jON -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Proftpd and Debian
Hi all, I urgently need to use the very latest Proftpd to support some of my customers using passive FTP on Windows. This is the rc1 release. Even Debian unstable isn't up to this version. I have downloaded source and managed to compile and get the paths to various things set so that a make works. However, I suspect that it is not only paths that need changing .. Comparing a Debian build to the rc1 build, I get a whole load of modules in the modules subdirectory. Debian has many more and also has a number of different files (.o, .so, .a, .c) that the rc1 doesn't build into the modules directory. Is there some way that I can work out from the Debian build (that I managed to build from source) what specific make options are required for Debian? I can't apply the previous version diff to this rc1 build I presume ... so I need to know how to run configure (i.e. what options are needed) and how to make the modules directories compare favourably after build. Any help, much appreciate. Thanks all, jON -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Proftpd and Debian
Thanks for replying Sven, Hum which change do you refer to? mlsd/mlst which affects timestamps that clients get - used for synchronising folders ... Add a deb-src line to your sources.list for your favourite mirror and apt-get source proftpd won't that get the latest release that is being worked on by Debian developers - it won't get me the source for rc1 yet will it? jON -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

proftp and mod_ban
I have installed the proftpd package on etch. I need to use mod_ban so got hold of the sources and with some research managed to patch with the debian patch (at least I think I did - dpkg-source didn't report any problems and I ended up with a debian subdirectory). However, the configure script sets defined variables such as PR_RUN_DIR to something in /usr/local and it needs to be different to this to comply with what the standard installed package has in place. I have tried to use ./configure --help to get an idea of what I can include on the command line but it doesn't seem to have any hints on how I can change #defs. For example, I need to be able to use the existing \etc\proftpd \proftpd.conf config file with my new build - I just want the new build to sit on top of the old one. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to compile in the correct paths pls? Many thanks all, jON -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
