proftpd scoreboard

Hi,

Proftpd is refusing to start on my server. The
log shows the message "error opening scoreboard:
invalid argument". The scoreboard is a file where
the ftp server logs some information for the
other commands to read and display users,
transfers, etc.

The location and ownership of the files are:

The server itself -
/usr/local/sbin/proftpd
owner/group: root root
permissions: 755

The scoreboard -
/usr/local/var/proftpd/proftpd.scoreboard
owner/group: root root
permissions: 644

The configuration file -
/usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf
owner/group: root root
permissions: 644

Every time it attempts to start, it re-creates
the scoreboard file, with the permissions shown,
but then reports the error and bails out. I have
tried changing ownership to nobody/nobody (as
used on the installation), changing the
configuration file, with no results. The proftpd
site has no information on this problem nor the
documentation mention anything about this. Has
anyone had the same difficulty?

The version is proftpd 1.2.9 (the latest).

Thank you,
Gerardo
