Hi all: I still have vsftpd shutdown and connection problems. Being logged in as root, after issuing the ftp command followed by open localhost, I still receive connection refused. I also still receive shutting down (failed) after I have issued the /etc/init.d/vsftpd stop command. It seems that the only way to terminate the ftp server is by the kill command. If my vsftpd application happened to get corrupted, what command can I run to try and fix or reinstall with out flattening and reinstalling everything again? Help! Thanks: Michael problems
