[BlueOnyx:04778] ProFTPD module mod_ifsession

[John Simpson]

I would like to use the ifsession module in ProFTPD, but it is not
currently compiled in.

What would be the appropriate procedure to put that into the BX system
without breaking anything?

On my personal Ubuntu system, I did this:

# apt-get source proftpd-basic
# cd proftpd-dfsg-1.3.2c/
# ./configure  '--program-prefix=' '--prefix=/usr'
'--exec-prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--sbindir=/usr/sbin'
'--sysconfdir=/etc' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--includedir=/usr/include'
'--libdir=/usr/lib' '--libexecdir=/usr/libexec' '--localstatedir=/var'
'--sharedstatedir=/usr/com' '--mandir=/usr/share/man'
'--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--libexecdir=/usr/libexec/proftpd'
'--localstatedir=/var/run' '--enable-ctrls' '--enable-dso'
'--enable-facl' '--enable-ipv6' '--enable-openssl'
'--with-modules=mod_readme:mod_auth_pam:mod_tls:mod_ban:mod_ifsession'
'--with-shared=mod_ldap:mod_quotatab:mod_quotatab_file:mod_quotatab_ldap'
'CFLAGS=-O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions
-fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -mtune=generic
-fasynchronous-unwind-tables -I/usr/kerberos/include  ' 'LDFLAGS=
-L/usr/kerberos/lib  ' 'CXXFLAGS=-O2 -g -pipe -Wall
-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector
--param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -mtune=generic -fasynchronous-unwind-tables'
'FFLAGS=-O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions
-fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -mtune=generic
-fasynchronous-unwind-tables'
# make
# make install

The first problem that I have is that 'apt-get' is not available on
the BX system.
I don't see a "source" option for yum ...
I'm trying to find the equivalent in the man pages for rpm/yum, but
have not luck yet.  I'm also concerned that if I succeed, I may still
be breaking the system somehow by doing so?
