Somehow (Don't ask me how) I got vsFTPd insatlled earlier from source with the config file someplace else. I couldn't find it in etc or anywhere. But yeah, I disabled vsFTPd and now proFTPd works fine.

I installed everything that came up when I searched for proftp, but there's still no "server section" in the control center. I installed gproftpd, but it only works for standalone, and I'd prefer to run it via xinetd (Which is the default setup.) I've found enough howto's that I might be able to dig and and config it manually via the /etc/proftpd.conf file... maybe :-P. One plus: I know the server works now. lol; in konqueror when I go to ftp://[mydomain] it logs in and gives me an empty directory with a pub folder... it's a start.
