[solved] debian 5 can not log in to proftpd

[motokochan]

ProFTPd has no problem seeing the database, the problem stems from the fact that the passwords are being saved as salted md5, but ProFTPd is expecting crypt() output. I'm working on the same issue here, and will report back with a workaround or solution as soon as I can get it working.

Quick and Dirty Fix:

Edit /var/www/ispcp/gui/include/calc-functions.php

Search for "generate_rand_salt"

Edit:

Code:

if (CRYPT_BLOWFISH == 2) {
                $length = 13;
                $pre    = '$2$';
        } elseif (CRYPT_MD5 == 1) {
                $length = 9;
                $pre    = '$1$';
        } elseif (CRYPT_EXT_DES == 1) {
                $length = 9;
                $pre    = '';

To:

Code:

/*
        if (CRYPT_BLOWFISH == 2) {
                $length = 13;
                $pre    = '$2$';
        } elseif (CRYPT_MD5 == 1) {
                $length = 9;
                $pre    = '$1$';
        } else*/
        if (CRYPT_EXT_DES == 1) {
                $length = 9;
                $pre    = '';

This disables MD5 and Blowfish when making passwords for FTP, possibly for other accounts as well. I have not tested this completely.
