I can believe that. Thanks for white-listing me.

Ok, I guess I'll do some setup similar to what (I've been told) proftpd
does: it installs an init.d script, but not the rcX links. The init.d
script also kills running instances, so if you start it and it was on
inetd, it'll take over.

Thanks for the script. I hope I'll do something about it sometime soon,
I'm a bit tight on time though.

It does something like this:
if ! egrep -q "^[:space:]*ServerType.*standalone" /etc/proftpd.conf
then
run_proftpd=0
fi
then under start:
if [ $run_proftpd = 1 ]
then
update-inetd --disable ftp
echo -n "Starting professional ftp daemon: "
...
...
I personally thing that calling update-inetd to disable it might cost a
little. But our machine here is a 1.2ghz celeron handling mail. (used to
be a 233mhz pentium)

Welcome. I'll continue to use my script until the package is updated to
have an init.d script.
You may wish to look at the imap server portion as well. Since I'm not
using IMAP here, I didn't look into it.
