Well, that's unfair. That bug hit virtually every ftpd around. I would not
hold it against proftpd. I've been using it for quite awhile and I am very
happy with their approach to the concept and their implimentation.

That's not fair. A root exploit that hit virtually every ftpd is not
grounds to go and say proftpd should only be used "if security isn't
important" Think about it for a moment, in my eyes, this bug does not
detract at all from proftpd's solid performance. Nobody is perfect.
