In order to start/stop/refresh proftpd using SMF method, you need two files, the manifest xml file and the start/stop/refresh proftpd script. First, the xml file: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM "/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1"> <service_bundle type="manifest" name="proftpd-server">  <service  name="network/proftpd-server"    type="service"    version="1">   <create_default_instance enabled="false">   <single_instance>    <dependency name='net-loopback'   grouping='require_all'   restart_on='none'   type='service'>   <service_fmri value="'svc:/network/loopback'">   </dependency>   <dependency name='net-physical'   grouping='require_all'

Here we go : root@freya:~/work/proftpd# ls proftpd-1.3.2.tar.gz root@freya:~/work/proftpd# tar -xvf proftpd-1.3.2.tar.gz [...] After unpacking type in the proftpd dir: ./configure --prefix=/usr/proftpd-1.3.2 --enable-dso --with-modules=mod_tls --with-shared=mod_sql:mod_sql_postgres:mod_quotatab:mod_quotatab_file:mod_quotatab_sql --with-includes=/usr/postgres/8.3/include/ --with-libraries=/usr/postgres/8.3/lib/ !!!!! the order of shared modules is important, mod_sql , must be in front of mod_sql_postgres , or else your proftpd server will not start !!!! If everything is ok, run make & make install This will install proftpd in /usr/proftpd-1.3.2 dir (you can change the prefix) Also, in order to have postgresql connectivity from proftpd, you need to
