Re: [Proftpd-user] Password issues with auth file from older version?

Hello Robert,

are you sure it is a password problem ?
I use proftpd1.3.6b on debian buster and created the passwords long time
ago with the "openssl passwd" command.
It creates the 13 char strings and it works till now.

Did you compile proftpd on your own, what did the debug log say ?
