For the SFTP key ownership, you can use `SFTPOptions InsecureHostKeyPerms`, assuming you are using ProFTPD 1.3.6rc1 or later; see [here](http://www.proftpd.org/docs/contrib/mod_sftp.html#SFTPOptions). Similarly, the `DelayTable none` syntax was added in 1.3.6rc1, for...

For ProFTPD, it looks like this `--runstatedir` is akin to its existing [`PR_RUN_DIR`](https://github.com/proftpd/proftpd/blob/master/include/default_paths.h#L38) macro, used for default scoreboard file locations, Controls sockets, `mod_delay` table -- but notably, *not* the PidFile....

@hpreusse how is this `--runstatedir` different from the existing `--localstatedir` configure option?

Hmm. Given that the version of Autoconf currently used by ProFTPD is older, it may not support `--runstatedir` automatically -- and the Autoconf macros don't easily allow for adding a...

As an intermediate step, I've used Autoconf 2.69 (see https://github.com/proftpd/proftpd/pull/1041), which worked without issue. (It also addresses/closed [Bug #3336](http://bugs.proftpd.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3336) quite nicely.) However, I see that there are yet newer version...

I think we will follow the pattern of [this project's PR](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/ljanda/NetworkManager/commit/921b7eb71699d39e0181d44a96500173397da957) on this topic, until Autoconf 2.70 is officially released.

Yes, support for the requested `--runstatedir` option has not yet been implemented. I'm not sure how comfortable I am yet, with trying to support an option that is not yet...

@pghmcfc Previously, it was from the `--localstatedir` option; it was changed in `configure.in` in [this PR](https://github.com/proftpd/proftpd/pull/1041/files). But I never completed pulling that "runstatedir" variable through. :( I can open a...

I see that Autoconf 2.70 (and 2.71) have been released, making support for the newer `--runstatedir` official. Nice.

Just a note for myself, to re-build _all_ of the `configure` scripts using the newer Autoconf (aiming for 2.71): ``` $ cd proftpd $ find . -type f -name "configure.*"...
