The thread that resulted in this poll was "Slack 13.0 proftpd works only for anonymous". I don't know what the user helcik did, but on my default 13.1 system I simply uncommented proftpd in "/etc/inetd.conf" and I was able to login as any shell user, except for "root", because "root" is listed in "/etc/ftpusers".
Just because something does not work for one user, this should not be a reason to remove something from a distro. As you can see in the other thread, the user helcik is starting proftpd in a non-default way "> proftdp -n -d5"; I don't see a "root" prompt "#", so that may well be the cause of the problem. No - my vote is do not remove proftpd from slackware. |
The reason for this poll is not the problem the user had in the linked thread but the late security issues ProFTPd has had.

Well - the request for this poll was made in the thread "Slack 13.0 proftpd works only for anonymous".
No?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette Quote:
And as other people on this thread have stated, the security issues with proftpd have been properly addressed. |

I weighed in rather comprehensively in my post contained in the thread HERE
FWIW, I don't like the way *either* poll was constructed. For more info, pls see the details in my post at the link above. Hope that helps :) Kindest regards, |
