I've got following modules : (checked by command proftpd -l )

Compiled-in modules:
  mod_core.c
  mod_auth.c
  mod_xfer.c
  mod_site.c
  mod_ls.c
  mod_unixpw.c
  mod_log.c
  mod_tls.c
  mod_ratio.c
  mod_readme.c
  mod_tcpd.c
  mod_pam.c

There is no mod_wrap here, but there is mod_tcpd, which i assume is
responsible for using TCPD feature. In my /etc/hosts.allow files
is such a registration :

[path to my hosts.allow : /etc/tcpd/hosts.allow]
proftpd : 212.132.17.120 etc...
and it works, but in my proftpd.conf is "TCPDServiceName ftp" entry !
So when i use "ftp" service name in my hosts.* files it doesn't work !
Of course first I restart my proftpd server by command
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/proftpd restart "

Yes i know it,  English is not my native language ... ;-)
