I got this error when I try to configure dtc:

What can I do?

Thanks

Read the other posts, it was written there already.

You should have check if you have the "default linux capabilities" kernel module under "security -> enable different security models" in the kernel (the module name is capability.ko). This is a problem that has been sent to the maintainer of the pure-ftpd package, but he doesn't seem to care much about it.

It's the same for proftp-mysql?

How can I enable/configure/install this capability.ko module?

Bye and thanks

Edit: With Proftp I don't see this bug

I have the same problem.
Trying the command "modprobe capability", but I get the message:

FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.14.el5.028stab045.1/modules.dep: No such file or directory

This Debian 4 install is from an ostemplate, I did not compile the kernel myself.

How can I install this module?

Thanks in advance

Just recompile the kernel then, or remove the capability option from the pure-ftpd package (which shouldn't be very hard, it's only an option in the ./configure)!

Would be so kind to explain a bit more detailed?
Honestly I'm a beginner on Linux.
What commands I have to run?

My current task is to compare DTC is to Lxadmin. Lxadmin is already installed on the test machine from the hostinabox template, but I would like to see DTC too, because I hope it is better.

Thanks,
Laszlo

Do this:

Code:

apt-get install build-essential devscripts debhelper libpam-dev libcap-dev libldap2-dev  libmysqlclient15-dev libpq-dev postgresql-dev libssl-dev openssl fakeroot mkdir tmp cd tmp apt-get source pure-ftpd cd pure-ftpd-1.0.21/debian

Then edit the "rules" file, add --without-capabilities at the end of line 12. Then do this:

Code:

cd .. dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot cd .. ls

Then as you can see, this produced the pure-ftpd package (with the capability option changed). Simply reinstall the packages with dpkg -i:

Code:

dpkg -i pure-ftpd-common_1.0.21-8_all.deb  pure-ftpd-mysql_1.0.21-8_amd64.deb

then it should be fine!

What's cool is that you just have lean how to get the sources of a package in Debian, modify it, recompile it and install the produced package.

Note that this capability problem is a known bug filled in the Debian BTS (Bug Tracking System), but the package maintainer doesn't seem very active.

I've just had the same problem, and thought I'd post a follow-up to it. Emailed Thomas, got an incredibly useful reply. Very, very happy!
I can't find a page for donations. Is there one?

Copied and appended from my ~/.bash_history: Not meaning to belittle anything earlier, but more goes can't hurt

This is on Debian 4 (etch) x86_64.

Make a directory for the work, and cd into it:

Code:

mkdir pureftp cd pureftp

Get the source for the package (downloaded to current directory) then cd into its directory, then the debian directory

Code:

apt-get source pure-ftpd cd pure-ftpd-1.0.21/ cd debian

Edit the `rules` file, and add `--without-capabilites` to the end of the line full of other --xxxxxxx-xxx (replace `vim` with your favourite text editor)

Code:

vim rules

Build the dependencies:

Code:

apt-get build-dep pure-ftpd

wait
wait some more
build the ftp server

Code:

dpkg-buildpackage pure-ftpd

*wait*
*ditto*

cd back to the directory you first got the source into, and install the appropriae deb file

Code:

cd .. cd .. dpkg -i pure-ftpd-mysql_1.0.21-8_amd64.deb

Should I put this in the wiki?

[gplhost]

Yes please, put this in the wiki, as a separate page, with a link to it in the main one (as it's a specific issue).
