Hello,

I have a problem with my ProFTPD server. When I close the FTP connection in my FTP client (tested on different clients such as FileZilla and FlashFXP) the ProFTPD process under that user is not terminated. I'm running on a clean installed Debian 5.02 server with DirectAdmin 1.337.

When I quit I do get a confirming message:

Code:
[R] QUIT
[R] 221 Goodbye.
[R] Logged off: ftp.domain.xxx

However when I look at the ProFTPD processes the process in still running in IDLE mode.

Code:
ftp      19652  0.0  0.0   5020  1320 ?        Ss   13:07   0:00 proftpd: (accepting connections)
xxxx     19702  0.0  0.1   5492  2800 ?        SL   13:08   0:00 proftpd: xxxx - ::ffff:80.100.xxx.xxx: IDLE
xxxx     19743  0.0  0.0   3116   716 pts/0    R+   13:09   0:00 grep ftp

Can anybody help me troubleshoot this problem? I've already sifted through some logs, such as the access.log and auth.log of ProFTPD but they don't really help.

Kind regards,

Mannekino
