Package: proftpd Version: 1.2.10-10 Severity: important Hi, I have had several machines now ( identical setups ) that have had their proftpd die with signal 11. Proftpd will start ( standalone or via inetd ) with no detectable problem. Upon a connect it will product the banner and the login prompt. Typing any username ( correct or incorrect ) will cause the server to crash with signal 11 giving a comment that the server hung up.
I have traced the problem to mod_delay. A quick workaround is to stop the server and remove the following file: /var/run/proftpd/proftpd.delay. Then restart and problems are gone. Although I have no idea how this happened as no unusual activity has occured at any server in question. I have some of the broken files archived here: http://down.xepa.nl/proftpd/proftpd.delay.serv1-broken http://down.xepa.nl/proftpd/proftpd.delay.tandjes-broken Yours truly, Michiel Brandenburg -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (777, 'testing'), (333, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7 Locale: LANG=nl_NL, LC_CTYPE=nl_NL (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages proftpd depends on: ii adduser 3.63 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.4.30.11 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcap1 1:1.10-14 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libpam0g 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7e-2 SSL shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-6 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii netbase 4.20 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii proftpd-common 1.2.10-10 Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP dae ii ucf 1.14 Update Configuration File: preserv -- debconf information: * shared/proftpd/warning: * shared/proftpd/inetd_or_standalone: inetd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
