We have a list of the most used ones, sadly, it will never ever be exhaustive, and some problems like that will keep going to occur. When your libc major version changes (meaning not the debian revision) it's very advised to restart every service the libc did not restarted itself. THough thanks, our way to restart services was broken, and you made us aware of that. sadly, proftpd is not (yet ?) in that list. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O madcoder@debian.org OOO http://www.madism.org
