Bug#951916: proftpd-mod-vroot: proftpd cannot load mod_vroot

Hi,

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet. I have a number of projects on the
go, and since this is only impacting a small number of users on my home
system it has fallen lower on my priority list - I was also trying to find
solutions myself. Apparently there are people that have the code from the
upstream git repository working with current proftpd, but I haven't had
time to dig into the differences in compilation methods.

I tried a similar trick, an a couple of other things. I haven't been able
to get it to work.

After installing the package from the link you provided (the package
installs fine) I get the following:


/tmp# service proftpd check-config 
2020-02-29 17:51:12,873 kiev proftpd[1118598]: mod_dso/0.5: unable to load 'mod_vroot.c'; check to see if '/usr/lib/proftpd/mod_vroot.la' exists
2020-02-29 17:51:12,873 kiev proftpd[1118598]: fatal: LoadModule: error loading module 'mod_vroot.c': No such file or directory on line 92 of '/etc/proftpd/modules.conf'
2020-02-29 17:51:12,873 kiev proftpd[1118598]: warning: unable to include '/etc/proftpd/modules.conf': Operation not permitted
ProFTPD configuration OK


The DSO error is the same I have been getting when trying various
solutions. The warning on the modules.conf file comes with that, everything
else works fine, just the vroot based hosts that don't.

Thanks
