ProFTPD fails to start
hi,
I just installed ProFTPD using 'apt-get install proftpd'.
The installation was successful but it said: ProFTPd warning: cannot
start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd mode. Check your
configuration.
My /etc/proftpd.conf has:
ServerName "rhftp"
ServerType inetd
DeferWelcome off
ShowSymlinks on
MultilineRFC2228 on
DefaultServer on
ShowSymlinks on
AllowOverwrite on

Can someone tell me what could be/is wrong?
Also i seem to have a 'proftpd' dir. in /etc (/etc/proftpd) inside
there is: modules.conf and proftpd.conf is this normal?
