I have installed ProFTPd from the ports collection on a FBSD 5.2.1 
system. The only problem is, it doesn't start up. I know I have to set / 
change the ftp line in the
/etc/inetd.conf 
i also have setup a user account on the system called ftp and the group ftp.
Any help would be great
Here is the entire inetd.conf file
