Problem with autogenerated password

[Raasta]

Hello, I found a slight problem when trying today the latest bulid in a debian etch. All installation apparently goes well, but when I try to connect with proftpd not connected.

#ftp localhost
Connected to domain.tld.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed the connection
ftp>

The system records only just find it interesting ...:

February 1 23:27:57 xxxxx proftpd [2647]: xxxxx.homelinux.net - ProFTPD dead (Signal 15)
February 1 23:27:57 xxxxx proftpd [2647]: xxxxx.homelinux.net - ProFTPD 1.3.0 standalone mode SHUTDOWN

Feb 1 23:29:55 xxxxx proftpd [2807]: xxxxx.homelinux.net (127.0.0.1 [127.0.0.1]) - FTP session closed.

I have not found a log more interesting ...

I read "all" the forum, probe different configurations for proftpd but nothing ... By all appearances proftpd can not talk to the database. Then I saw in the proftpd.conf password autogenerated by the installation script for proftpd to connect to the database (in the line SQLConnectInfo) has the " character at the beginning. These are strange for a password I think ... ( but saw some "%" and "(" characters in the middle, strange password, not only alphanumeric characters, well ...).

Change the first character of the password ( " ), in proftpd.conf and in the database and how it works FTP connection. Again Then he changed the old stage and the bug has become. Finally learned the lesson: beware of passwords autogenerateds!

Thank you Raasta
do you want to open a bug ticket or shall we do it for you?

This is in fact a bug and should be improved/corrected.

This is the first known Problem with a generated password. I installed ispCP many many time but never had such a problem

But of course, this could happen and we have to correct it.
