mod_ldap[1] would probably be the way to go.

[Proftpd-user] Option

TJ,

There’s an option to when a file is being uploaded, it is called “.in.filefomething”.

I don’t remember it’s name even looking at documentation, can you remember me it’s name?

Thanks,

Jorge

[Proftpd-user] Home directory paths

Hi,

maybe a silly question, but is it possible to have accounts defaulted  
and chrooted to different home directories on different servers?

I have two FTP servers sharing the same LDAP users (OS X). The users  
have their home directories specified in the LDAP directory. When they  
login to FTP server1, they are defaulted and chrooted to their  
respective home directories in /Volumes/Volume1/FTP/.

In my FTP server2 I'd like to default and chroot them to directories  
in /Volumes/Volume2/FTP2/ (hence, different directory path, same home  
directory name). How can I accomplish this?

If you are willing to run the proftpd code from CVS, and use the 
mod_rewrite module, then you can make use of the new RewriteHome feature:

  http://bugs.proftpd.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3167

Using this, on one (or both) of your FTP servers, you can use RewriteHome 
and the mod_rewrite module to change the home directory (retrieved via 
mod_ldap) using regular expressions.

Hope this helps,
TJ

[Proftpd-user] SQL reconnections and long-lived FTP sessions


When mod_sql is used, mod_sql creates a new database connection for each 
FTP session.  (Connection pooling can be done by using a third-party 
application such as sqlrelay.)  And if, during the lifetime of that FTP 
session, the underlying database is stopped/started, the database 
connection held by the FTP session process becomes invalid.  The next SQL 
operation attempted by mod_sql will result in something like:

 Mar 10 10:29:13 mod_sql/4.2.2[25873]: message: 'Can't connect to local
 MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)'

For short-lived FTP sessions and/or for smarter FTP clients, the client 
will reconnect to the FTP server, get a new server process, which gets a 
new database connection to the (hopefully restored) database, and all 
should be well.

However, longer-lived FTP sessions (or dumber FTP clients) are affected by 
this.

My question for all you mod_sql users out there is: how big of a problem 
is this?  Should the SQL modules (mod_sql_mysql, mod_sql_postgres, et al) 
try to automatically reconnect to the database when their database 
connection is lost (for a given number of retries)?  Note that, depending 
on the database client library, attempting to reconnect may require 
re-reading the client config file, which is impossible if that FTP session 
has been chrooted; this is something that can be investigated.  But first 
I'd like to know whether this is something that would address pains that 
proftpd users are actually seeing in the wild...

Cheers,
TJ

Re: [Proftpd-user] SQL reconnections and long-lived FTP sessions

hi TJ

one thing which comes in my mind ( if i got it right):

if the db is used for logging transfers, the information is lost when the db-connection get's invalid.

maybee there should be some kind of a "backup_log_file" which holds the information that could not be sent to the db. ( it could contain the "sql" ( in case of mod_mysql ) so one could update the db easy if the info is needed. if i think further... if such a file exist's it would be nice if proftpd "auto-updates" the db when it comes back up......

so basicly somethin like:

db-failover-log /path/to/log ( defaults to old behaviour )
db-failover-log-processing = yes

on the other side, if the information is so valueable one should implement some kinf of failover / redundancy of the db.

hope this helps in your considerations...
