Package: proftpd
Version: 1.3.0-19
Severity: minor

Server didnt start up with the following bug in the config file. Giving the
error:

 * Starting ftp server proftpd - Fatal: unknown configuration directive
   'RequireValidShells' on line 35 of '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf'

Reason is a typo in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf in section:

# Users require a valid shell listed in /etc/shells to login.
# Use this directive to release that constrain.
# RequireValidShells off

Must be "RequireValidShell" without S in the End (users can have only one
shell at once uh? *G*)
