root@m33p:/usr/sbin# proftpd
m33p - fatal: Socket operation on non-socket
m33p - (Running from command line? Use `ServerType standalone' in config file!)

What does that actually mean?

looks like you put inetd as the Server type in proftpd.conf

change it to standalone.

"In this mode, ProFTPD expects that it will be run from the inetd super-server, which implies that stdin/stdout will be sockets instead of terminals. As a result, socket operations will fail and the above error will be printed"
