Problems after psa-proftpd update

[tema]

Since updating to psa-proftpd 1.3.2 on our test server, the ftpd service seems to have died.

[user@server]$ ftp localhost
Connected to server
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
ftp>

Restarting xinetd doesnt do anything. I'm starting to think it may be an issue with pam.
Anyone else come across this?

After updating proftpd the first handshake takes a long time (about 10Sec.). After that, all looks fine!

Centos 5.2, Plesk 8.6

[DerFalk]

Ok, i figure something out:

UseReverseDNS off
IdentLookups off


does not work anymore!

The Proftpd asks the named and timeouts....

[scott]

I wonder if they changed the settings to something else

I got this in the logs:

Feb 28 13:09:18 XXXXXX-03 proftpd[9495]: XXXXXX.de - fatal: Transport endpoint is not connected

and:


Feb 28 14:40:21 XXXXXX-03 named[30229]: lame server resolving 'XXXXXX.de' (in 'XXXXXX.de'?): XX.XXX.
XXX.XXX#53

here is my conf:

The problem seems to be the 'Quotas on' statement in our proftpd.incude file:

Mar 1 08:20:10 SERVER proftpd[30840]: Fatal: unknown configuration directive 'Quotas' on line 9 of '/etc/proftpd.include'

Is there something we've missed somewhere? Our proftpd.conf file all seems to be in order. We still have psa-proftpd-xinetd.x86_64 (1.3.1-cos5.build860807) installed on the server, will this make any difference?

[scott]

Think ya lost me there, are you having this happen on psa-proftpd 1.3.1, or 1.3.2?

[DerFalk]

No, with the old version the login was <1 sec. ! How can i change back to the old version? with yum?

[hostingguy]

Ive recieved reports that with 1.3.2 ftp is no longer working. Ill provide more info more I can get to the office and investigate.

[kwebdesign]

I had the same problem after upgrading to psa-proftpd 1.3.2 - could not log in via FTP.

Removing the following lines from /etc/proftpd.include fixed it:

Code: Select all

        Quotas on
        QuotaType hard
        QuotaCalc off

Question is - am I now missing something for having removed these lines?

[scott]

yeah hostingguy and I were digging into this earlier today. I *think* its because we're using Dag's design (who rocks. Its a fact.), and that in turn is using DSO's for components like quotas the same way apache does. We didn't get a chance to finish debugging it today, but we made progress.

[DerFalk]

after i copied the old proftpd (version 1.3.1) into /usr/sbin/ all Problems are gone ...

[hostingguy]

yeah I did the same thing, I just re-installed the old rpm to solve the issue.
