I am running RH 9.0 on a P4 machine. We have Proftpd installed, V. 1.210. Every couple of weeks Proftpd seems to lock up and refuse connections. When I go to restart the process or try to stop it I get the following error: 'proftpd dead but subsys locked' . I have to run the following commands to get it going again (found it on another forum):

cd && rm -f ../var/lock/subsys/proftpd

killall -9 proftpd (Kills all 'proftpd' processes.)

lsof -i TCP:21

kill -9 ##### (The process IDs displayed.)

nmap -sS -p 21 localhost (Be sure it's closed.)

sh ../etc/rc.d/init.d/proftpd restart

Then is starts working again.

Can anyone tell me what is causing this. I read some where to upgrade it to the version I have now and it should be fixed. It is still doing it. Any help would be appreciated.
