Thank you for clarifying that point, I was indeed wrong to imply that
restarting inetd would kill off any existing connections.
I hope this rathole hasn't diluted my original post that contains the
correct method and description to avoid this very public DoS in ProFTP.
Hopefully, we'll soon see a workaround for the shell prompt DoS that is also
a part of this for those that allow users shell access to their RaQs.
