 +-------------------------| ProFTPD configuration |-------------------------+
 | ProFTPD can be run either as a service from inetd, or as a standalone     |
 | server. Each choice has its own benefits. With only a few FTP             |
 | connections per day, it is probably better to run ProFTPD from inetd in   |
 | order to save resources.                                                  |
 |                                                                           |
 | On the other hand, with higher traffic, ProFTPD should run as a           |
 | standalone server to avoid spawning a new process for each incoming       |
 | connection.                                                               |
 |                                                                           |
 | Run proftpd:                                                              |
 |                                                                           |
 |                                from inetd                                 |
 |                                standalone                                 |
 |                                                                           |
 |                                                                           |
 |                                  <Ok>                                     |
 |                                                                           |
