Hey there,
I've just noticed the following: if you enable SFTP with ProFTPd, as in this technote, and rebuild ProFTPd after that (I wanted to disable TLS, then rebuild), the custom SFTP config file (/etc/proftpd.conf) will be replaced by the default config. Granted, the "old" config will be renamed, so you can copy it back, but this caught me by surprise today. I'm thinking: what if I update to a future version with Custombuild, will my SFTP config be gone again? From a security standpoint that would not be very nice. Am I missing something?
