If so, you will see which application listens in the last column of the output. I'm quite sure that it is xinetd or inetd. In the first case, the ftp-service is either started by /etc/xinetd.conf or a separate configfile in /etc/xinetd.d. In the later case (inetd), it is certainly started in /etc/inetd.conf. -volker -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
