Re: Proftpd users

In the SRPM there is a file entitled: proftpd-1.2.8-biarch-utmp.patch.bz2
which contains:

So it looks like they fix it, but I didn't take a look at your code, so I
don't know if it is the same thing. Maybe they did send the patch to
ProFTPd, and it wasn't accepted, or didn't solve the problem in the way they
wanted to.
