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. : > proftpd is excellent. : : If security isn't important. Currently I know of know full-featured FTP : server that has source available and is freeware. 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.
