RE: [Proftpd-devel] RE: [Proftpd-user] Question about hold on /et c/passwd

[William L. <WL...@in...>]

Yes, but better to confuse bob with the odd possibility of seeing a numeric
id for uid/gid (even though most windows ftp clients don't even show you
that information by default than to:

1: See all numeric id's
2: Kill the server with 5 meg chunks of virtual space taken up in the root
partition every hour, which ultimately DID fill up the root partition on 2
boxes. (The TimeoutSession patch helped keep this limited, but I don't like
it).

I am not a fan of having to copy the password file to another location every
time I update it, or to copy the full passwd file at all outside of where is
already resides. At this point, I'm half-tempted to use "AuthUserFile", as I
don't want to put too much work on the devel list for 1 user's server
cluster.
