    I downloaded and installed the proftpd ....

    [root@rhwebapp root]# /usr/local/sbin/proftpd
     - warning: AuthPAMAuthoritative is deprecated
    [root@rhwebapp root]# ps -aux | grep ftp
    nobody 1346 0.0 0.1 2380 1240 ? S 13:51 0:00 proftpd:
    (accepti
    root 1348 0.0 0.0 1732 580 pts/0 S 13:51 0:00 grep ftp

    it looks okay for me .... but when I try to ftp to the server it gave
    [root@rhwebapp root]# ftp localhost
    Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1).
    421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
    ftp> quit

    What could be the problem?
    what about the warning with PAM?
    my configuration file (part of it)

    # This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to
