My vsftpd was working. I use it configured via xinetd and turn it off
(disabled = yes) when I'm not using it to keep the bad guys from hammering
on it.
Recently I upgraded to 4.2 (via yum update). That' the only change I know
of on the system. And I didn't have any problems with it.
Today when I try to ftp, i enabled it in xinetd.d (with disable = no and a
"service xinetd restart") But I can't connect. Well, I connect, but then
I'm dropped with the reply:
500 OOPS: cannot open config file:/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
The config file is there:
-rw------- 1 ftp ftp 4271 Oct 23 21:03 vsftpd.conf
I haven't changed it's permissions.
the ftp account appears intact:
ftp:x:14:50:FTP User:/var/ftp:/sbin/nologin
There are no related entries on tehlog, only the connect in /var/log/secure:
Oct 23 21:11:58 tn1 xinetd[13086]: START: ftp pid=13113 from=xx.xx.xx.xx
I tried starting it manually via service vsftpd start. That appeared to
start fine, but when I look no process is running.
So I tried to start it manually and get teh same error
[root@tn1 init.d]# /usr/sbin/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
500 OOPS: cannot open config file:/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
Anyone help?
Thanks, Scott
