oftpd does not start properly complaining about the proper user isn't configured in /etc/conf.d/oftpd. It's because the ftp user doesn't exist. the new ebuild doesn't create a ftp user, unlike others ebuilds that do it properly, nor have a EWARN at the end of the emerge warning the user that he need to do it by hand. Adding a ftp user mannually and everything goes fine I guess the proftpd ebuild should give us a good idea how to do it. I found this weird behaviour after a fresh gentoo install, my old oftpd install was worked fine out of the box. Cheers.
This is fixed in -r2 which depends on net-ftp/ftpbase. x86, please stabilize -r2, it's already stable everywhere else.
x86 done
