Just a comment, when I install proftpd I have to add a line to my
rc.local that says
"mkdir /var/run/proftpd/"

because proftpd is compiled in such a way that it puts its pid /
scorefile / sock file in that directory, and netBSD deletes the entire
/var/run folder at boot time

if that folder is not there, you will get errors when your try to connect
Jun 22 17:13:22 seele proftpd[2639]: notice: unable to listen to local
socket: No such file or directory
Jun 22 17:13:22 seele proftpd[2639]: seele - error opening scoreboard:
No such file or directory


not sure if this is a package issue?

my proftpd.conf file

ServerName=09=09=09"ProFTPD Default Installation"

I had diagnosed it on my other system a while back, and since the
exact same error occured on this new machine, I figure its worth
noting
