Package: proftpd
Version: 1.3.0-8
Severity: normal
I had installed the testing version of proftpd and after the upgrade to 1.3+ I
had to check several times my config file with no success. I had it configured
as running from inetd, but it failed to start every time and recommended to
chech my config file, which I did but couldn't find anything wrong.
Finally I discovered that the FTP service line had disappeared from
/etc/inetd.conf. This is most strange as it was running before the upgrade,
but I cannot guarantee that the FTP service line was in there as I hadn't seen
it before this incident.
After adding the line with:
update-inetd --group STANDARD \
--add "ftp\tstream\ttcp\tnowait\troot\t/usr/sbin/proftpd\tproftpd"
everything went back to normal.
Please check if you're not removing the line or forgetting to put it back in.
Thanks!

Once added at install, proftpd scripts can only --enable|--disable it.
If a ftp line was not there (commented out just in case with an #<off> prefix)
it has been removed by
someone or by another package. I doubt this is an issue of proftpd.
