ok... here's what i get... [root@lserver2 /]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd # default: on # description: The wu-ftpd FTP server serves FTP connections. It uses \ # normal, unencrypted usernames and passwords for authentication. service ftp { disable = no socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/local/sbin/in.proftpd ## server_args = -l -a log_on_success += DURATION nice = 10 } does this mean that whoever set this up is actually using the 'wu-ftpd' file to run a 'PROftpd' server??? and why??? also, how can i find the actual config file to modify!!!! thanks for all the help.... -bruce -----Original Message----- From: Alexey Fadyushin [mailto:fab@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, October 30, 2004 7:42 AM To: bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: ftp questions.... Look for the line 'disable' in files /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd and /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd. Is should be read as 'yes' at least in one of these files. The actual FTP server is that _without_ 'yes' for this option (or with 'no' value fot 'disable').
