selected inetd instead of standalone mode.
unfortunately, the server is unable to run. It says: ProFTPd warning:
not start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd mode, apparently.
Check your configuration. I'm using Debian Testing. What should I do?
Well pointing your favourite browser to www.proftpd.org and taking a look
at the documentation is always I good start.
Anyway please check in your proftpd.conf for the ServerType directive.
It should have the value inetd for running via (x)inetd and standalone
for the Proftpd standalone mode.
