No one will be able to make any FTP related changes - since that will lock the ProFTP configuration file.
<br />
<br />But if I remember that file correctly - it isn't updated each time a site is added/deleted. Only when changes are made to the FTP configuration. So locking it won't hurt additions/deletions. But if you want to modify the FTP server settings - you'd have to unlock the file first.
<br />
<br />The benefit - you won't have to worry about the proftpd.conf file updating each time the machine is rebooted. That is your problem - right?

[BlueOnyx:10923] Re: Why refresh proftpd.conf when reboot
?
<br />>
<br />> This problem really seems to have dragged on for a long
time,
for such a small issue.
<br />>
<br />> Take the simple route Eiji while
waiting on a
fix. If you can change the proftpd.conf file so it works the way you
want it, and you don't want it changed from that configuration - set the file
so it can't be changed. Set the immutable bit on the file with "chattr
+i /etc/proftpd.conf". That will make the file <span style="font-weight: bold;">completely</span> unchangable - even by root.
You can see what files have what special permissions like immutable set with
"lsattr /etc". And if you ever want to change that file again, use
"chattr -i /etc/proftpd.conf".
<br />>
<br />> This way, you don't have to
worry about
a reboot changing your ProFTP configuration file. Its not the best
solution - but will solve your immediate problem.
