[Mod_ftpd] mod_ftpd not accepting password

[Kevin Armijo]

I did what you said.  There were no semaphors or shared memory segments left
active.
I removed the tmp file also and there was not a file named
mod_ftpd_default.tmp.lock.
Here is what I get from an ftp client:
Password:
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
Login failed.
No control connection for command: Permission denied

nope, I need to fix this issue.. it has to do with permissions of the lock
file that gets created.. I thought I fixed it for 0.12.3, I guess I didn't.
run "ipcs" as root on your machine (when apache is stopped) and see if there
are any left over semaphores or shared memory segments still active (with
owner apache most likely but zero nattached). if so you need to ipcrm them.
also delete the file /tmp/mod_ftpd_default and possibly the
mod_ftpd_default.tmp.lock.
