[Proftpd-user] How come DisplayConnect doesn't work in my system?

[Marc E. P. <mph...@ma...>]

Hello all,

I need your help, 'cause  I want it to appear on user's FTP login 
message. That does not work... I am stumped. The file is still there 
in /etc/welcome.msg
ls -la /etc/welcome.msg -rw-r--r--    1 root     root          160 
Dec 19 18:16 /etc/welcome.msg

Can you help, thanks!

[root@ftp etc]# vi /etc/proftpd.conf
