Greetings,
Please help: I've spent a good 4-5 hours trying to get ProFTP up and =
running on my fresh FreeBSD 5.1 install - during which I have read =
everything that I could get my hands/eyes on and tried every trick I =
could find.  Essentially, I am trying to set up ftp accounts for 3 =
users, each with there own unique username/password login - which are =
working as verified by ssh - to use as a java servlet dev box. =20

The problem: I can not establish an FTP connection to port 21. When it =
appears that I have an ftp connection, there is no directory listing nor =
a list of the remote files. I have a small firewall (built-in to my =
router), and have opened up ports 20 & 21. At one point I got a =
"PAM(username) authentication error" - but everything looked good (to my =
eyes) in the /etc/pam.d/ftp & ftpd files.

I have the server running in standalone mode and is not enabled as inetd =
service:

[suplizio@dakota:~] $ ps -auxf | grep ftpd
nobody     662  0.0  0.7  2144 1672  ??  Ss   11:22PM   0:00.01 proftpd: =
(accepting connections) (proftpd)

[suplizio@dakota:~] $ head /etc/inetd.conf=20
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/inetd.conf,v 1.61 2002/11/12 17:31:11 obrien Exp $

 I am running the default /usr/local/etc proftpd.conf file  - which =
looks something like this:

ServerName                      "ProFTPD Default Installation"
ServerType                      standalone

Thanks in advance for reading thru this!
