Hi TJ,

You are correct! I put the files ftpd.passwd and ftpd.group intp 
/etc/proftpd, restarted proftpd and the errors disappeared!

Additionally, your observation about the owner's UID of /srv/ftp was 
spot on! I suddenly realized that the directory I wanted to use 
(/srv/ftp) was owned by user ftp, while proftpd was running as user 
proftpd! I don't know why this didn't register in my mind when I was 
working on this last week! My brain is tofu sometimes!

Thanks very much again, TJ!!
