Re: proftpd issues - Got it WORKING

Jason,

Here is the output when UNC home directory is in the passwd entry:

NOTE:  For security purposes the server the proftpd software is running on
has been renamed to **SERVERNAME**.
The Domain to **DOMAIN** and Remote Server to **REMOTESERVERNAME** and
login id to **MYLOGINID**.

passwd entry:

**MYLOGINID**:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:48479:10513:Brian

Attached is the strace.

No, AFAICT, I have already address this problem in the following:

Agreed.
