A seteuid() call happens when a program drops privileges to do something as a lesser user and when it's done it tries to regain the same UID/GID as before via seteuid(). It's something I'm sort of sure ProFTPd doesn't allow without full reauthentication, because from a security point of view it's *very* tricky to get right. In the nooks and crannies of such code usually there often is room for exploits and that's why sensible people don't implement it - unless they really *have* to. And then it's usually the best audited and most well tested part of the code, because one false step and it can get exploited.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>The last ProFTPd update only changed two things: mod_ban and mod_geoip got activated by default. Other than that it's just ProFTPd 1.3.6-RC1 vs ProFTPd-1.3.5.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Are the files in the webspace owned by that siteAdmin or by someone else? This could be where the seteuid() call comes from. Say the files are owned by nobody:siteX or apache:siteX and not by the siteAdmin:siteX.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>--<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>With best regards<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Michael Stauber<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>_______________________________________________<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Blueonyx mailing list<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><a href="mailto:Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'>Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it</span></a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><a href="http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'>http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx</span></a><o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
