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.
