These errors started since ProFTPD was upgradede to 1.0.20


also when customers from shared IP's login in the wellcome message they see in Proftd server nae, the name of the first domain on that IP in the proftpd conf.:

STATUS:> Host name ftp.2.com resolved: ip = 69.xx.xx.xx

For all Hosts with edicated ip.

This is happening because there are duplicate entries for those IPs in the proftpd.conf file. If you manually edit the file and delete the duplicate entries those error messages will go away.

[Norman]

Well yeah I have duplicates for those IPS's cause those are shared IP's

But yeah.. I just noticed this recently..

Each entry, although it may be a duplicate IP, does not duplicate the hostname..

hrmmmm

[Angel78]

duplicate IP's = no, just entry for each shared account (only once) and this started since the 1.0.20 upgrade.

Please put in a ticket, you have to have dupes somewhere, or this is a bug in proftpd itself.

To get your proftpd.conf rebuild from scratch

/scripts/updatenow
/scripts/ftpup pure-ftpd
/scripts/ftpup proftpd

Looks like upgrade putin duplicate IP's all around the proftpd conf files, as running that command mentions that im already on the latest version
Have removed the duplicate entries manually

Thanks

/scripts/updatenow
/scripts/ftpup pure-ftpd
/scripts/ftpup proftpd

After upcp to CURRENT_37
ftup --force

Now this being a fresh install should have had everything correct.
No problems with reinstall.
the conf file however is populated with duplicate entries.

Same problem here.

I also can't login with username@domain.com format anymore?

[torwill]

Same problem here.

I also can't login with username@domain.com format anymore?

I am having the same problem logging in as sub-ftp account. any way to fix this?

[Angel78]

i can confirm this, addon FTP accounts dont work.

[drose25]

Ditto. Same here. Add-on FTP accounts are refusing to validate their logins.

[jrehmer]

i can confirm this, addon FTP accounts dont work.

I am VERY disappointed. I've had over 1,000 complaints now because of this. This is not acceptable.

Any way to go BACKwards? I"d rather have 1.2.9 than 1.2.10.

[drose25]

I switched over to Pure-FTP temporarily and my users with add-on accounts are now able to login. Anyone else having this difficulty might want to try it until Cpanel gets the problem fixed. Also, if you run APF, you may want to flush your firewall because a few of my users got themselves banned for too many incorrect login attempts.
