I thought everything on SLES8 was controlled by the SUPER-DAEMON XINETD...here's what
I show for ftp:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]$ cd xinetd.d
[EMAIL PROTECTED] xinetd.d]$ ls
chargen daytime-udp finger rexec sgi_fam time
chargen-udp echo linuxconf-web rlogin talk time-udp
daytime echo-udp ntalk rsh telnet wu-ftpd
[EMAIL PROTECTED] xinetd.d]$ cat wu-ftpd
# default: on
# description: The wu-ftpd FTP server serves FTP connections. It uses \
# normal, unencrypted usernames and passwords for authentication.
service ftp
{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.ftpd
server_args = -l -a
log_on_success += DURATION USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
nice = 10
disable = no
}
[EMAIL PROTECTED] xinetd.d]$

Subject: SLES 8.1 FTP problems
I'm having a problem with ftp under SLES 8.1. I go into inetd and
activated the ftp service but I'm still not able to ftp to this server.
When I look at the service details in inetd it looks like this
Active! ftp stream tcp nowait root
/usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd
If I look in /usr/sbin there is no file called in.ftpd. This file exists
on our SLES 7.2 systems where ftp is working fine.
When I try to ftp to this server I get the following error message
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection.
Any help would be appreciated!
