[Bug 1380442] Re: default vsftpd package no login with pam-pgsql

[Phil]

More info found out today after updating the package 'openssl' then
recompiling.  I received the error:

PAM unable to dlopen(pam_pgsql.so): sqllite.so.6: failed to map segment
from shared object: Cannot allocate memory

I then read online somewhere to add more memory limit via line 22 in
defs.h

#define VSFTP_AS_LIMIT 100ul * 1024 * 1024

Without spending time to figure out how much more vsftpd actually
needed, I arbitrarily appended " * 6", recompiled and the error went
away.  This suggests the default distributed vsftpd package could use a
bug-fix along those same lines.


In the end, I've been reading that sftp is the future, so vsftpd might be obsolete anyway - however for those of us running into vsftpd issues, I don't see the harm in updating the default package to something that works.

Thanks,
Phil
