No. Like Gerald said: ProFTPd can either be run "Standalone" or via
"XINETd". BlueOnyx starts/stops ProFTPd via XINETd. The benefit of that
is that XINETd allows us to throttle the amount of FTP connections
that's allowed.
So you do NOT start ProFTPd via "/sbin/service proftpd start". Instead
it's started via "/sbin/service xinetd start".
If ProFTPd is set up to run via XINETd and you try to start it via
"/sbin/service proftpd start", then it naturally complains that it's
already running, because XINETd has started it already.
So of you really need to restart ProFTPd, you just do it this way:
/sbin/service xinetd restart

What bothered me is <b>when the system boots up and/or I "/sbin/service xinetd
start",</b> it shows ProFTPd fails to start.
But "/sbin/service xinetd restart" works fine.
I understand now.
Thanks
