ProFTPD mod_sqlpw exposes passwords; workaround to disable WtmpLog recommended.

Code
`A member of the proftpd mailing list and myself discovered a problem  
with proftpd with mod_sqlpw.c optional module compiled in.  
  
Unix last command reveals passwords where the username should be.  
A patch was sent to the mailing list, however, the patch only protects  
ftp localhost not ftp remotehost.  
  
Johnie Ingram (Author of mod_sqlpw.c) was notified, as well as, the rest  
of the mailing list.  
  
I suggest the following work around:  
  
<Global>  
Wtemplog off  
</Global>  
  
Wtmplog details below:  
WtmpLog  
  
Syntax: WtmpLog on|off|NONE  
Default: WtmpLog on  
Context: server config, <VirtualHost>, <Anonymous>, <Global>  
Compatibility: 1.1.7 and later  
  
The WtmpLog directive controls proftpd's logging of ftp connections to  
the host system's wtmp file (used by such commands  
as `last'). By default, all connections are logged via wtmp.
