Removing an FTP server

[Blazeix]

Hi, I recently installed proftp server for experimentation. I finished experimenting with it, and now I'm trying to remove it. I uninstalled proftpd, and I no longer have a proftpd entry into /etc/init.d/. Whenever I reboot, however, a folder called 'ftp' is created in my /home/ directory. I figured a user was left over, so I tried this:


sudo deluser ftp
/usr/sbin/deluser: The user `ftp' does not exist.


Anybody have any ideas on what is creating the 'ftp' folder? Thanks.

Weird. There must be something in one of the startup scripts - home directories aren't automatically regenerated. Try running a grep against the /etc/rc2.d/ directory, and the file /etc/rc.local. The listed owner of the "ftp" home directory may also give you a clue.
