Hello all,
I haven't updated my server to mdk 9 yet, but I've just discovered
a problem with proftpd in 8.2. I don't use /var/ftp very often but I know
when I installed it, it worked. Now when I try to get there from another
computer, I can't see anything in the directory. I tried making sure that
the proftpd.conf file said all the right stuff and that the correct
permissions and ownership are set on the files. I'm able to ftp into user
directories from the local lan but not the /var/ftp directory. Well, I
can get there, but it doesn't list any files. I tried doing "service
proftpd restart" and it shows that "stopping" fails and "starting" is ok.
I get the same output even several times in a row. I tried doing "service
proftpd status" and it comes back with: "proftpd dead but pid file
exists".
Any ideas? I'm confused because if proftpd is dead, how come I
can ftp into user directories? And if it's not really dead, then what's
going on to keep it from showing the ftp directory? What other files
could infect that service?
thanks for any advice, mike
