Is there some wacky proftpd configuration on cpanel hosts?

Uggg… Proftpd is notoriously slow to login on Cpanel hosts. Then there’s this nonsense 3-minute timeout, which was done away with years ago. 20 to 30 minutes is now pretty much standard on most servers I’ve been on. Regardless of what settings I add to the proftpd.conf file, they seem to be ignored. So far, I’ve added:

UseReverseDNS off
IdentLookups off

TimeoutIdle 1800

All ignored of course… Has anyone figured out why this is happening? I’ve tried every suggestion from every newsgroup, as well as the proftpd FAQ, but still nothing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Maybe proftpd is inherently slow? I have NcFTPd on a pair server and it just screams. You click connect, and you’re logged in and ready in under a second, and no goofy 3-minute timeouts Is there some wacky proftpd configuration on cpanel hosts?

Thanks!
