[Proftpd-user] mod_sql's status

[George B. <ge...@in...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to switch from 1.2.4 to a more recent 1.2.5/1.2.6. I have
encountered some problems with adapting to the new mod_sql (the syntax
has changed considerably). I'm past this now, I think. However,
SQLHomeDirOnDemand does not seem to be working anymore. From the logs:

mod_sql/4.09: homedirondemand    : true
myuser chdir("/user_home/"): No such file or directory

Needless to say, "myuser" is a mod_sql user, and "/user_home/" is what
mod_sql says that myuser's homedir is.

I've looked into the source code of mod_sql and I can see that a lot has
changed. But I can also see that that the mod_sql version is 4.09. The
page "http://www.lastditcheffort.org/~aah/proftpd/mod_sql/"
(www.proftpd.org points to this URL for mod_sql) reports 4.08 as the
last version of mod_sql. The changes between 4.08 and 4.09 are
significant, but now I am in a dillema because I don't know who's the
maintainer for mod_sql. I presume it's the person that got mod_sql to
4.09 ;)

So, two things: "SQLHomedirOnDemand  on" does not do the job; it did the
job, at least in part, with proftpd 1.2.4. I've just tried the 1.2.7rc1
and I get just the same...

Looking through the sourcecode, I can see "build_homedir()" which gets
executed in sql_module.authtable[11].handler; or something ;) Anyways,
I'm still too much of a beginner with C (de)coding to make any sense of
the code, except for the very basics. Maybe any of you can help me with
this...

Thanks,
georgeb
