If the proftp daemon will not be used often it is smart the let it be
started by the inetd. This can be done by changing 2 lines in your config
files:
1: in /etc/inetd.conf
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/proftpd proftpd
(when someone connects on ftp port, proftpd will be started)
2: in /etc/proftpd.conf
ServerType inetd
(sets the proftpd in inetd mode. Default the value is "StandAlone" IIRC)
if you changed this: # killall -HUP inetd
# /etc/init.d/proftp restart
and you are done.
