I doubt this is an issue of proftpd.
Hi Francesco: sorry if I misplaced a bug, but I still have a doubt. You
say the FTP service line in inetd.conf is not created by proftpd?? If it
isn't then probably it should, as the /etc/init.d/proftpd script greps
that file for "/usr/sbin/proftpd". Maybe I'm missing something here, but
how does this work on a new system?? I suspect inetd is installed by
default, and I guess it cannot create a proftpd line in its config file
since the user may choose another ftp server. Then if I installed
proftpd is the user supposed to create that line? Sorry again but it
took me a while to find out that that was the error, since the
init.d/proftpd script kept telling to check the configuration. If for
some good reason I don't know the scripts can't create that line maybe
the startup script message can be a little more informative by saying:
"ProFTPd warning: cannot start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd
mode. Check your _inetd/xinetd_ configuration."
