hi, Alfredo said to add an entry to /etc/rc.local not rc.conf .. if you have read the documentation you would have known that rc.conf should not be edited(/etc/rc.conf - Configuration file used by //etc/rc/ to set startup parameters for the system. Should not be edited.) So if you want to start vsftpd at startup just make sure that you have LISTEN=YES in /etc/vsftpd.conf and this lines below in rc.local if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/vsftpd ]; then echo -n ' vsftpd'; /usr/local/sbin/vsftpd & fi
