There are three proftpd files what are the differences and which one should I download? (I am using mandrake v9.1 & apache v2)

proftpd-1.2.8rc1-1.i386.rpm
proftpd-inetd-1.2.7-1.i386.rpm
proftpd-standalone-1.2.8rc2-1.i386.rpm

thanks!:confused:

the standalone one is for running it standalone as a daemon.

the inetd one is for running it through inetd (or xinetd).

the third one just has a version number. doesn't say what it is.

kind of strange too since with proftpd you choose whether or not it is a daemon in the /etc/proftpd.conf file so probably the only difference is that one file and whether or not they give you an init script.
