proftpd won't allow me to connect

[Nico De Ranter <nico@sonycom.com>]

Howdy,

I'm trying to setup proftpd 1.2.0pre10 on my Debian 2.2 box.
However whenever I try to connect I get a 

  421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

message on the client and
  
  - ProFTPD terminating (signal 11) 

message in /var/log/daemon.log on the server. 

I tried running with full debugging but that doesn't make me any wiser.

Any idea what might keep my client from connecting. (/etc/hosts.allow and
deny should be ok)

Thanks in advance

Nico
