proftpd 1.2.10

[Darren Henderson]

I have a HP-UX 11.11 system with the current recomended patch set. I've installed ProFTPD 1.2.10 from the iexpress package (have also tried the proftpd package from the SPA Centre).

Functionally verything works fine except I'm seeing the following message in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log:

RIVS_RELINQUISH: unable to setregid(session.gid, PR_ROOT_GID): Not owner

Not much on this out on the web - wondering if anyone else has seen this or found a solution.

What I did find seemed to indicate that it was a problem pre-1.2.10 release and had been fixed and had to do with the order in which uid/gid were changed.

The ftpd server may be trying to set permissions on a file it does not own. There may be some remnent of the wsftpd server that ships standard with HP-UX.

You might wish to report this issue to HP, posting here does not do that. They may have a Q&A issue with their port.

There is a patch that has been applied to cvs post release that is meant to address the issue.

Trying that now. It is apparently due to the order of transition from one group/user to another.
