proFTPD install mod_exec

For dummys please:

I need to install proFT开发者_如何学GoPD module mod_exec on a debian squeeze (64bit). How does it work. The documentation on the proftpd page was no help for me.

Thank you.

Compiling the source is the only way to get it right. By the way you'll get the latest version with important bugfixes. I've done this with these steps:

# install build-tools and dependencies:
aptitude install build-essential gettext make g++ libwrap0-dev libldap2-dev libmysql++-dev libpam0g-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev unixodbc-dev libncurses5-dev libacl1-dev libcap-dev

# download sources:
wget ftp://ftp.proftpd.org/distrib/source/proftpd-1.3.3e.tar.gz
tar -xvf proftpd-1.3.3e.tar.gz
cd proftpd-1.3.3e

# add missing module mod_vroot
cd contrib/
wget http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/modules/proftpd-mod-vroot-0.9.2.tar.gz
tar -xvf proftpd-mod-vroot-0.9.2.tar.gz
cd ..

# configure, make and install:
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-includes=/usr/include/postgresql:/usr/include/mysql --mandir=/usr/share/man --sysconfdir=/etc/proftpd --localstatedir=/var/run --libexecdir=/usr/lib/proftpd --enable-sendfile --enable-facl --enable-dso --enable-autoshadow --enable-ctrls --with-modules=mod_readme:mod_sql:mod_sql_postgres:mod_exec --enable-ipv6 --enable-nls --build x86_64-linux-gnu --with-shared=mod_unique_id:mod_site_misc:mod_load:mod_ban:mod_quotatab:mod_sql:mod_sql_mysql:mod_sql_postgres:mod_sql_sqlite:mod_sql_odbc:mod_dynmasq:mod_quotatab_sql:mod_ldap:mod_quotatab_ldap:mod_ratio:mod_tls:mod_rewrite:mod_radius:mod_wrap:mod_wrap2:mod_wrap2_file:mod_wrap2_sql:mod_quotatab_file:mod_quotatab_radius:mod_facl:mod_ctrls_admin:mod_vroot:mod_sftp:mod_sftp_pam:mod_sftp_sql:mod_shaper:mod_sql_passwd:mod_ifsession build_alias=x86_64-linux-gnu CFLAGS=-O2
make
make install

I've used --with-modules=mod_readme:mod_sql:mod_sql_postgres:mod_exec to also include mod_sql with postgres which is maybe not necessary because it's in the --with-shared part.

Odd. On my debian squeeze system it is available by default:

$ dpkg -L proftpd-basic | grep exec
/usr/lib/proftpd/mod_exec.so

with

$ apt-cache policy proftpd-basic
