Package: proftpd
Version: 1.3.0-24
Severity: normal

Hi,

I have configured proftpd to start from inetd, this creates a line like
this:
ftp stream  tcp nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/proftpd

However, I only want it on localhost so I edited it to look like this:
localhost:ftp   stream  tcp nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/proftpd

Unfortunately running dpkg-reconfigure (or upgrading I gather) doesn't
change the line I added (which AFAICT is legal) but readds the original
one. If I remove it and try to "start" proftpd I get:
ProFTPd warning: cannot start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd
mode. Check your configuration.

Which is simply an annoyance because my line does work, but it
indicates that this is both a proftpd and update-inetd problem, so I'm
reporting this bug to the proftpd package first.

greets,
Wim
