[LUNI] ProFTPD setup problem

[Poorav Chaudhari]

I have just installed proftpd on my system, and tried to do an ftp localhost
and i got the following error

Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1)
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

I have RH 7.2 on my pentium class machine. i installed the proftpd 1.2.6
package
my entry in the xinetd.conf file for ftp is as folllows.

service ftp
{
  disable = no
  flags = REUSE
  socket_type = stream
  instances = 50
  wait = no
  user = root
  server = /usr/sbin/proftpd
  log_on_success += DURATION USERID
  log_on_failure += USERID
  nice = 5
}

for the moment i have not done anything to the proftpd.conf file. i want to get
the default anonymous going before i start configuring it for different users. 

please help. i have been trying to get the server up since yesterday morning.
and now am getting extremely frustrated.

thank you
