Yellow Dog Linux Bugfix Announcement
------------------------------------

Package:	proftpd
Issue Date: 	June 23, 2001
Priority:	low
Advisory ID: 	YDU-20010623-1


1. 	Topic:

	The proftpd server that shipped with YDL 2.0
	was slightly misconfigured.
	

2. 	Problem:

	Yellow Dog Linux uses the "logrotate" software to
	keep system logs from growing too large as well as
	archived.  Proftpd's logrotate configuration entry
	(for /var/log/xferlog) was setup such that when
	proftpd wasn't activated, the system would still
	try to rotate the xferlog.  This causes the root
	("Super User") account to receive frequent automated
	emails about log rotation failures.

	The updated packages correct this problem.


3. 	Solution:

   	a) Updating via yup...
   	We suggest that you use the Yellow Dog Update Program (yup)
   	to keep your system up-to-date. The following command(s) will
   	automatically retrieve and install the fixed version of
   	this update onto your system:

   		yup update proftpd

   	b) Updating manually...
   	The update can also be retrieved manually from our ftp site
   	below along with the rpm command that should be used to install
   	the update.  (Please use a mirror site)

   		ftp://ftp.terraplex.com/pub/yellowdog/updates/yellowdog-2.0/ppc/RPMS/
		rpm -Fvh proftpd-1.2.0rc2-2c.ppc.rpm
