"unable to determine IP address of 'laptop.localnet' " doesn't have an IP address associated with it. I'm assuming that "hostname" returns I wouldn't worry at this point about messages not appearing in /var/log/messages. If I change my hostname I get the same error as you do.... [root@f12 ~]# hostname f17.greshko.com [root@f12 ~]# hostname f17.greshko.com [root@f12 ~]# /usr/sbin/proftpd - warning: unable to determine IP address of 'f17.greshko.com' - error: no valid servers configured - Fatal: error processing configuration file '/etc/proftpd.conf' But then.... [root@f12 ~]# hostname f12.greshko.com [root@f12 ~]# hostname f12.greshko.com [root@f12 ~]# service proftpd start Starting proftpd: [ OK ] So, it is most likely that 'laptop.localnet' does not exist in your /etc/hosts file.
