Hi Stephen,
Thanks for your reply. Actually, I have read the docs, have ensured
that vsftpd is not running under xinetd (vsftpd.conf file shows
listen=YES, listen_port=318); I am *not* listening for IPv6.
I can't start the daemon. Running /etc/rc.d/init.d/vsftpd status shows
"vsftpd dead but subsys locked". This occurs each and every time unless
I remove listen_port= from the conf file and let the daemon use port 21.
Soooo...I'm stuck and while I know I can get this working with proftpd,
I'd rather not for obvious security reason.
Thanks again, in advance, for any replies.
Regards,
~Ray
