This is a poor solution to the problem. The initscripts solutions should be used for cases like this. The easiest thing to do is to grab the proftpd package from Dag's archive. Install it and you'll have /etc/rc.d/init.d/proftpd. Simply enable it as follows: # chkconfig proftpd on Poof, you're done. If you want to start it now before a reboot: # service proftpd start You may also want to look at setting up a yum client to identify/retrieve updates from Dag's archives. That way you'll know when new versions come out and have an easy way of updating them. -- Ed Wilts, RHCE Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
