DOC: Proftpd installation procedure is outdated

It's missing mod_tls

Install via custombuild.

Not always an option when you have to manually patch proftpd to fix its SSL mess .
And besides it's beyond the point. If there is outdated doc out there, it should either be fixed or removed.
That doc also has a prefix that works on FreeBSD, but not necessarily on Linux.

Hello,

mod_tls added to the list.

Regarding the install_user=ftp install_group=ftp bit, that's not related to any particular OS, but rather the shell you're using. You can take it out if you don't use a "Bourne-ish style shell":

I meant the prefix, "/usr/local/". Custombuild uses a different one if I'm not mistaken.

FreeBSD uses /usr/local, everything else uses /usr. It's mentioned in the guide.
