>Description:
When having Proftpd installed and doing an upgrade the configuration file /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf gets overwritten with the sample file.
The appended patch should fix this problem by using ${PREFIX}/etc/proftpd.conf.sample instead of ${PREFIX}/etc/proftpd.conf
>How-To-Repeat:
By installing the port and doing an upgrade later.

cd /usr/ports/proftpd
make install

then edit the configuration file ${PREFIX}/etc/proftpd.conf to fit your needs.

Now an upgrade / reinstall of the port:

cd /usr/ports/proftpd
make deinstall && make install

overwrites the edited configuration file with the one shipped with Proftpd.
