Sorry for hijacking the thread, but you're trying to start the daemon in
standalone mode, while you also have inetd listening on the same port to
launch the ftpd once a connection has been established.

You shouldn't have to run the `proftpd start' command if you've set up
inetd. Try `ftp localhost', and inetd should launch the server (if your
inetd setup is correct).
