[Bug 610467] Re: [ Lucid 10.04 ] proftpd missing sftp support

This also effects precise, and it would be nice it was fixed.

Supporting sftp users outside the normal system users is a bear with
openssh, and this looks like a clean alternative.

Title:
  [ Lucid 10.04 ] proftpd missing sftp support

Status in “proftpd-dfsg” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  first of all, thanks for all the hard work put in Ubuntu!

  From 1.3.3 SFTP support is in the core source tree, and it seems the
  Debian unstable package was updated to include 1.3.3 with the required
  modules.

  https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/debian/experimental
  /proftpd-dfsg/experimental

   As ftp is insecure and tls/ssl clients are rare, mod_sftp is a
  painless way to upgrade a proftpd installation to meet the security
  level required in the wild. With virtual hosting, it is possible by
  mod_sftp to operate a fully virtual user table in ldap/sql and enable
  sftp without messing libnss or pam. As 10.04 is a long term support
  system, it would be very nice to have sftp in it.

  I searched for ppa-s providing something to test, but the closest one

  https://launchpad.net/~chris-vigelius/+archive/chrisv/+packages

  has 1.3.2 only.
