Hey,

Thanks for the quick answer!
I tried removing this line from inetd:   "ftp     stream  tcp     
nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/proftpd".  And than I set 
Server Type to standalone in proftpd.conf. It didn't work :(. When i 
tried "/etc/init.d/proftpd start" it complained that the server won't 
start neither in standalone way, nor in inetd...


Best regards,
Bogdan
