Re: [cobalt-users] [RAQ3] Proftpd Update - PAM Issues

Jeff,
Thanks for the research. For the first problem (the run-time scoreboard issue), I tried your advice and moved (instead of deleted) the scoreboard file to something else. When I tried to FTP into the system, proftpd recreated that file, but I'm no longer getting error messages about the version.
As for the PAM issues, I have confirmed that it is only chroot'ed users that cause this problem. If I log in as admin (which I've verified to not be a chroot'ed user), I do not get these same error messages. In a previous email, I indicated that I was only seeing these PAM errors on one of two RAQs that I upgraded today, but in fact it is occuring on both. On the second RAQ, I was logging in as admin only because there were no other users configured. Once I added a user to a site, I saw the same problems on that RAQ. In any case, I guess all I can do is sit and hope Cobalt re-releases the patch with the appropriate fixed version of proftpd soon. 

Thanks for all your help!

Charlie

To fix this all you need to do is delete this file, it should be done
by the rpm.

This seems to be a proftpd problem, I found some info on this on the
proftpd users list and attached it.

I had the same errors with proftpd, and tracked the problem to when a user logs in and is placed in a chroot'ed environment, the system can't reopen the pam files as it no longer has access to them.
I sent a patch in for this and it was incorportated into CVS the other day, so either get the latest CVS version or wait until the next tarball's are rolled out.
