Re: [cobalt-users] proftp upgrade?

Hi!

If you build proftpd from the sources, the executable is put into
/usr/local/bin/ by default
unless you specify another location (./configure --prefix=/desired/path).

All you would have to do now is copying /etc/proftpd.conf to /usr/local/etc
and
specifying the full path to your new in.proftpd in /etc/inetd.conf. After
that,
type killall -HUP inetd.

Bye.

    Marco
