How interesting.  How did you install ProFTPD?  In particular, did you install a series of ProFTPD-related RPMs, perhaps while trying to get the desired functionality?

It almost looks like the `proftpd` executable installed has Controls support -- but the installed `ftpdctl` executable does not have Controls support.  Thus I'm wondering how such a mixed installation might have occurred.
