i have never tried ProFTPD. i use both oftpd (with my ipv6 patches) and
pure-ftpd, both on linux mandrake and they work pretty well.
the Current Status of IPv6 Support for Networking Applications page
contains a long list of ipv6-enabled ftp server that run on linux:
http://www.deepspace6.net/docs/ipv6_status_page_apps.html#ftp
perhaps you may wish to try pure-ftpd, ftpd-bsd, oftpd, or vsftpd.
the page reports that ProFTPD features native IPv6 support since the
1.2.9rc2 release. what version are you using? perhaps you are using an old
and not ipv6-enabled version of ProFTPD under an ipv6-capable (x)inetd
server.
BTW, why don't you use the ProFTPD daemon in standalone mode? is there any
valid reason to let it work under (x)inetd?
