Hello, fellow ProFTPD developer!  Thanks for providing a module like this; I expect that there may be other sites that wish to authenticate users via a MongoDB deployment as well.  I'll take a look at that repo when I get a chance, and provide feedback/suggestions that come up.

Yes, it's quite alright to post the announcement of your module here; that's one of the reasons for this list!

Cheers,
TJ
