[BlueOnyx:16322] Proftp logging buggy.

I tried the (temp) fix of making 2 config files and pointing the xinetd
services to one for plain and one for TLS.

I was able to tranfer files with each.  Plain ftp logged transfers showed
up in /var/log/xferlog as expected, but NONE of the TLS transfers showed
up *anywhere* that I could find.

Certainly not good if you're wanting to know who got/put files!

It looks like proftpd has issues beyond TLS.

I also noted that there's lots of messages in /var/log/proftpd/ban.log
that look like:

2014-10-30 14:44:36,755 mod_ban/0.6.2[15780]: added ban event for
ClientConnectRate
2014-10-30 14:44:54,238 mod_ban/0.6.2[15784]: obtained shmid 819204 for
BanTable '/var/log/proftpd/ban.tab'
2014-10-30 14:45:02,890 mod_ban/0.6.2[15888]: obtained shmid 819204 for
BanTable '/var/log/proftpd/ban.tab'
2014-10-30 14:45:02,895 mod_ban/0.6.2[15888]: added ban event for
ClientConnectRate

There's never anything appearing in /var/log/proftpd/ban.tab.
