Thanks for your feedback again! Well, my main problem is, I think I do not have the time and skills to too maintain the backported version of openssl, to be honest, neither the full skills for proftpd. On our site we wanted to have the new mod_sftp module, this was my main reason for the backport request to lenny. If someone will take it it would be great (but only with your support as maintainer of proftpd, as you have the best overview on it), but else squeeze will have it :-) Bests Salvatore
