after watching my files ;-)

# rpm -qa|grep sg-
sg-cpp-1.1.2-30_SG201_cobalt
sg-egcs-1.1.2-30_SG201_cobalt

I noticed that I installed the RaQ550 compiler a while ago which works still fine on my RaQ4 ...

you might get them from:

# rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.cobalt.sun.com/pub/products/raq550/RPMS/sg-cpp-1.1.2-30_SG201_cobalt.i386.rpm
# rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.cobalt.sun.com/pub/products/raq550/RPMS/sg-egcs-1.1.2-30_SG201_cobalt.i386.rpm

get proftpd-1.2.8 (better use the 1.2.8 stable the the 1.2.9 RC)

# cd /tmp
# wget ftp://ftp.proftpd.org/distrib/source/proftpd-1.2.8.tar.bz2
# tar -jxvf proftpd-1.2.8.tar.bz2
# cd proftpd-1.2.8
# ./configure --with-modules=mod_tls --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
# make

maybe then copy the files by your own or do a make install
the compiled files are:

ftpcount --> /usr/bin/
ftpshut  --> /usr/sbin/
ftptop   --> /usr/bin/
ftpwho   --> /usr/bin/
proftpd  --> /usr/sbin/

maybe you could also do a RPM file but you have to change the configure line in proftpd.spec first

happy ftping ... ;-)
