[Eric Peabody]

After today's update on a 5106R box, proftpd is not working.

[root at hercules xinetd.d]# ftp localhost

This was logged in /var/log/messages:

Turned off the service in /etc/xinetd.d/proftpd, restart xinetd service 
and then:

[root at hercules xinetd.d]# netstat -nap | grep ':21 '
[root at hercules xinetd.d]# proftpd -t

What's next?
