[NCLUG] ProFTPd service

[BJ Tiemessen]

After removing the lock file and pid then trying to restart the service 
/var/log/messages reads:
proftpd shutdown failed
proftpd startup succeeded
Failed binding to 0.0.0.0, port 21: Adress already in use
Check the ServerType directive to ensure you are configured correctly.

So what does this mean?
