FreeBSD Port: proftpd-1.2.10

[Michael Haro]

If you include support for ftpctl there could also be a 
/var/run/proftpd/proftpd.sock.

I'll make the port (and package) create /var/run/proftpd/
to fix this problem.

It's weird that I've never experienced this problem.  I have various 4.x and
5.x ftp servers using the proftpd port.
