problems with proftpd

[LucasX]

I have a problem with proftpd. The problem occured a few days ago. When booting gentoo
the computer says something like: "invalid Group: -G -g proftpd".

And when I try to connect to my machine from another machine it says:

#ncftp>open -u <user> <IP.ADDRESS.>
Could not set out of band inline mode: Invalid argument.
Remote host has closed the connection.
Sleeping 20 seconds...


My /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf looks like this:
------------------------------------------------------
ServerName "ProFTPD Default Installation"
ServerType standalone
DefaultServer on
RequireValidShell off
AuthPAM off
AuthPAMConfig ftp
# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.
Port 21

I'm betting that /etc/group got overwritten by a new baselayout and the proftpd user doesn't exist anymore.....
