No, I didn't use --nodeps.  I did as Paul suggessted:
rpmbuild --rebuild --with mod_sql --with mod_sql_mysql
proftpd-1.2.10-0.rc3.2.src.rpm

No, I didn't touch the spec file.  I would'nt have know what to edit.

It rebuilt but I was unable to get proftpd setup so I went back to vsftpd.
I tried to setup up a db as in the example but could not get the tables to
create.  I finally changed a few things and created a db that was similar.
Then, I figured I'd have to manually insert all ftp users into the db. Then
I wondered could some users (virtual host) be authenticated using mysql and
others in a different virtual host by PAM or whatever vsftpd is using.

I was getting over my head fast so I just went back to vsftpd.

I do appreciate the help from both of you!!

Thanks!!
