Full_Name: Pat Deegan Version: 2.0.7 OS: Linux 2.2.9-19 URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (206.47.244.89) I set up ProFTPd 1.2.0rc2 to use LDAP and created a test posixAccount. Using ncftp to attempt and log in kept producing errors: ProFTPD 1.2.0 Server (9-1-1 SuperFly ProFTPD Installation) [nine-one-one] Invalid reply: "proftpd: connected: nine-one-one (127.0.0.1:1943): getentry.c:30 : ldap_first_entry: Assertion `chain != ((void *)0)' failed." The relevant code in getentry.c: ldap_first_entry( LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *chain ) { assert( ld != NULL ); assert( LDAP_VALID( ld ) ); ===>assert( chain != NULL ); <=== The odd thing is that, following the assertions, there's the test : if( ld == NULL || chain == NULL ) { return NULL; } Commenting out the assert( chain != NULL ); and rebuilding solved all my troubles, so far...
It is not valid to call ldap_first_entry with either argument NULL. The behavior of such a call is undefined. When debugging is enabled, we crash so that the programmer can correct the bug in the calling routine.
