Proftpd requires the creation of the directory /var/run/proftpd/ (for the scoreboard). If the ports installation does not create this directory, proftpd fails silently when started. What do you think? Elijah Chancey @ eli@virtualeli.com web virtualeli.com aim elijahchancey msn passport@virtualeli.com
