The 'active_monitor' is just the Cobalt GUI checking whether FTP is 
up and running- there is nothing to worry about here.

The scoreboard file problem is common with ProFTP updates.  Simple 
solution- delete /var/run/proftpd/proftpd-inetd .  Don't worry, the 
file will be re-created the next time somebody uses FTP- this time 
with the correct version.
