On my debian system there is /etc/default/proftpd, in which contains this: | # Defaults for proftpd initscript | | # Master system-wide proftpd switch. The initscript | # will not run if it is not set to yes. | RUN="yes" | | # Default options. | # For more exhaustive logging, try "-d 3". | OPTIONS="" So, you can just chage RUN to "no". Cheers, cj
