Well, there are file not found errors for both samba and proftpd in /var/syslog:

Jun 11 08:23:24 xxx smbd^M[468]: connect from 128.187.176.25
Jun 11 08:23:24 xxx smbd^M[468]: error: cannot execute /usr/sbin/smbd^M: No such file or directory
Jun 11 08:25:01 xxx proftpd^M[472]: connect from 128.187.176.19
Jun 11 08:25:01 xxx proftpd^M[472]: error: cannot execute /usr/sbin/proftpd^M: No such file or directory


Sure enough, the files are not in /usr/sbin. This is really weird.
Anyone know how to fix these? Thanks.

Regards,

Jeremy

I would recommend finding the log file for proftpd (might just be /var/log/messages) and running:

tail -f /var/log/messages

While you try to login via ftp. See if any messages pop up that might shed some light on the issue.

All,

Now I'm stuck. I'm running Debian on my box and everything is running fine (apache, kde, vnc, mysql), except samba and proftpd.

When I try to ftp I get that generic
"421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection"
error. I've never had to tweak anything to get proftpd to run, and I checked my services and nmap shows "21/tcp open ftp".


With samba, I'm even more perplexed because I copied the smb.conf from an identical debian server. The computer appears in the network places on the windows machines, but when I double click on it I get "the remote computer is not available" error. Also, windows find the server if I search by name, but not if I search by ip.

I ran "ps ax" while trying to connect to the server via ftp (so proftpd would show up) and got these lines:
[...]
288 ? S 0:00 nmbd -a?
[...]
296 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/proftpd?
[...]


No matter what I do, I cannot turn off nmdb or start smbd. Incidently, both of these are run from inetd. If anyone can tell me where to start trouble shooting, I would appreciate it.

Regards,

Jeremy
