This nasty little error pops up when restarting proftpd on a virgin machine and a clean install. Another easy fix for this.
Just use the following and replace $HOST with the FQDN (fully qualified domain name) and replace the $HOSTSHORT with the actual name of the machine. For example: hostname.somedomain.com hostname
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 $HOST $HOSTSHORT
