Hi
I’ve been through this when installed proftpd.
After reading through many sites I also found that it seemed that the only
solution to make it work was to change the server type. It never worked for me.
However, it seems that I had some newbie luck.
What I did was to go to /etc/inetd.conf and find section STANDARD and set the
line:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.proftpd
IT WORKED after this.
The path to in.proftpd is wrong from the start.
Regards
