/usr/local/etc/rc.d/jftpgw states:

pidfile=/var/run/jftpgw.pid

When the pid file is changed via jftpgw.conf the change is ignored and restart fails.

>How-To-Repeat:
[root at proxy ~]# cat /usr/local/etc/jftpgw.conf | grep pid$
        pidfile                 /var/run/jftpgw/jftpgw.pid
[root at proxy ~]# ps -p `cat /var/run/jftpgw/jftpgw.pid`
  PID  TT  STAT      TIME COMMAND
49108  ??  Ss     0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/jftpgw -f /usr/local/etc/jftpgw.conf
[root at proxy ~]# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/jftpgw restart
jftpgw not running? (check /var/run/jftpgw.pid).
Starting jftpgw.
Error binding: Address already in use
[root at proxy ~]#

>Fix:
Remove line

pidfile=/var/run/jftpgw.pid

from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/jftpgw as 'pidfile=/var/run/jftpgw.pid' is default anyway.
