[Bug?] FTP "Permit root login" does not work as expected (needs manual fix)

Hello,

I tried to enable the login for the user "root" in the FTP options.

(Services -> FTP -> Settings -> Advanced settings -> "Permit root login")

This adds the user root in the vhosts sections in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf

<Limit ALL>
    AllowUser OR root
    AllowGroup OR root
    DenyAll

Unfortunately proftpd still blocks the root user from login to the FTP server (using FileZilla)

Status:    Verbinde mit 192.168.2.200:21...
Status:    Verbindung hergestellt, warte auf Willkommensnachricht...
Status:    Unsicherer Server; er unterstützt kein FTP über TLS.
Befehl:    USER root
Antwort:    331 Password required for root
Befehl:    PASS *********
Antwort:    530 Login incorrect.
Fehler:    Kritischer Fehler: Herstellen der Verbindung zum Server fehlgeschlagen

The /var/log/proftpd/proftpd.log log file:

openmediavault proftpd: pam_listfile(proftpd:auth): Refused user root for service proftpd

Solution:
The file /etc/ftpusers still contains the root user:

# /etc/ftpusers: list of users disallowed FTP access. See ftpusers(5).


root
daemon
bin
sys
sync
games
man
lp
mail
news
uucp
nobody

-> comment out the line containing "root" and the login for root is working.
=> This should be done automatically if the "Permit root login" switch is enabled

Best regards,
Patrick

Ok, so this is known/reproduce-able
I'm not using the root login on a production system, just tested OMV in a VM and wanted to compare the FTP speed to SCP/SFTP.
