I get such periodical errors in my log when user connects to proftpd
server which uses posgresql for authentication:

003-07-31 00:21:10 [14889]  LOG:  query: select login from accounts where login = 'testuser'
2003-07-31 00:21:10 [14889]  LOG:  query: select homedir from accounts where login = 'testuser'

2003-07-31 00:21:12 [14889]  LOG:  query: update accounts set login_count = login_count + 1 where login = 'testuser'

and when user disconnects:

2003-07-31 00:21:14 [14889]  LOG:  SSL SYSCALL error: EOF detected
2003-07-31 00:21:14 [14889]  LOG:  pq_recvbuf: unexpected EOF on client connection

No other errors messages in my log.

I have old version of proftpd installed in my system. I'm going to
install new version today. But I can delay this if needed (if it's
postgres bug) and look into proftpd sources.
