  This problem really seems to have dragged on for a long time, for such a 
small issue.

  Take the simple route Eiji while waiting on a fix.  If you can change the 
proftpd.conf file so it works the way you want it, and you don't want it 
changed from that configuration - set the file so it can't be changed.  Set 
the immutable bit on the file with "chattr +i /etc/proftpd.conf".  That will 
make the file completely unchangable - even by root.  You can see what files 
have what special permissions like immutable set with "lsattr /etc".  And if 
you ever want to change that file again, use "chattr -i /etc/proftpd.conf".

  This way, you don't have to worry about a reboot changing your ProFTP 
configuration file.  Its not the best solution - but will solve your 
immediate problem.

  Chuck
