Re: [Proftpd-user] compiling Proftp 1.3.6

 There is one more difference :  yum install proftpd brings down version "ProFTPD 1.3.5e (maint) (built Wed Jan 31 2018 16:32:29 UTC) standalone mode STARTUP"while I am running 1.3.6 when I compile from source.  "ProFTPD 1.3.6 (stable) (built Fri Aug 3 2018 19:04:53 UTC) standalone mode STARTUP"
This shouldn't make a difference  but thought I'd throw it out there.

systemctl hangs for a while  then eventually error on timed out  --  there looks to be 2 processes 
"Process: 39434" and "39435 proftpd: (accepting connections)" . --- so it does fork but not returning from the fork . ?

Hi Clark, it is set to standalone, here is a snippet of the conf file 

---
ServerName                    "SFTP Server"
ServerType                      standalone
UseReverseDNS             off
DeferWelcome                 off
DefaultServer                   off

Is proftpd configured as ServerType standalone in proftpd.conf?

Sounds like it might be in inetd mode.
