fedora
Calendar Grey September 30, 2017
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Resolves the configuration file initialization problem in pure-ftpd on Fedora 27 to bolster security measures.
This is an update fixing loading the configuration file.

Summary

Pure-FTPd is a fast, production-quality, standard-comformant FTP server,

based upon Troll-FTPd. Unlike other popular FTP servers, it has no known

security flaw, it is really trivial to set up and it is especially designed

for modern Linux and FreeBSD kernels (setfsuid, sendfile, capabilities) .

Features include PAM support, IPv6, chroot()ed home directories, virtual

domains, built-in LS, anti-warez system, bandwidth throttling, FXP, bounded

ports for passive downloads, UL/DL ratios, native LDAP and SQL support,

Apache log files and more.

Rebuild switches:

--without ldap disable ldap support

--without mysql disable mysql support

--without pgsql disable postgresql support

--without extauth disable external authentication

--without tls disable SSL/TLS

This is an update fixing loading the configuration file.
