Hi Chuck and Greg
> That is your problem - right?
It is great news.
I will be able to adapt it permanently to a specific server "ListOptions",
until changing Proftp via YUM.
However the time_stamp problem of Proftp is different from ListOptions.
The problem might came from file /usr/share/zoneinfo, I think.
Greg
I created the clean test server that apply all yum updates.
I will send the IP and psw to you personally.
I pray that you are able to find out the root of the problem.
The reproduce documenting are only 2 steps.
1, Access the server with ftp via siteadmin, not via admin.
Only the problem happen on user and siteadmin, Not on admin.
2, Please upload any file to any place on the server.
Then look the time_stamp.

No one will be able to make any FTP related changes - since that will lock
the ProFTP configuration file.
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.
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?

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 completely 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".
