ProFTPd installation / configuration help needed
I have installed ProFTPd from the ports collection on a FBSD 5.2.1 system. The only problem is, it doesn't start up. I know I have to set / change the ftp line in the /etc/inetd.conf i also have setup a user account on the system called ftp and the group ftp. Any help would be great Here is the entire inetd.conf file # Internet server configuration database # # Define *both* IPv4 and IPv6 entries for dual-stack support. # To disable a service, comment it out by prefixing the line with '#'. # To enable a service, remove the '#' at the beginning of the line. # ftp stream tcp nowait rootin.proftpd in.proftpd --- #ftpstream tcp6nowait root/usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l ssh stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/sshd sshd -i -4 #imap4 stream tcp nowait root/usr/local/libexec/imapd imapd # # example entry for the optional nntp server # #nntp stream tcp nowait news/usr/local/libexec/nntpd nntpd # # example entry for the optional uucpd server # #uucpd stream tcp nowait root/usr/local/libexec/uucpd uucpd # # Return error for all ident requests # #auth stream tcp nowait rootinternal #auth stream tcp6nowait rootinternal # # Provide internally a real ident service which provides ~/.fakeid support, # provides ~/.noident support, reports UNKNOWN as the operating system type # and times out after 30 seconds. # #auth stream tcp nowait rootinternalauth -r -f -n -o UNKNOWN -t 30 #auth stream tcp6nowait rootinternalauth -r -f -n -o UNKNOWN -t 30 # # Example entry for an external ident server # #auth stream tcp waitroot/usr/local/sbin/identd identd -w -t120 # # Example entry for the optional qmail MTA # NOTE: This is no longer the correct way to handle incoming SMTP #connections for qmail.

Re: ProFTPd installation / configuration help needed
Hi, it seems you have ProFTPd configured as an inetd service and in this setup it will be started by the inetd daemon upon connection. Try to connect and see what it puts out. You might also want to check the archive. There was a thread about a month ago regarding setting up ProFTPd. Dave I have installed ProFTPd from the ports collection on a FBSD 5.2.1 system. The only problem is, it doesn't start up. I know I have to set / change the ftp line in the /etc/inetd.conf i also have setup a user account on the system called ftp and the group ftp.

Any help would be great As I recall, you have to manually create a directory /var/run/proftpd - the man page erroneously tells you to use /var/run/run/proftpd. Permission levels and ownership are like this: # ls -dl /var/run/proftpd drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Apr 16 20:19 /var/run/proftpd If you're starting from /etc/inetd.conf, you need to edit /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf and comment out the line that says: ServerType standalone and add a line that says: ServerType inetd See man proftpd for more details. regards, Robert ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
