Re: If package is not installed at installation time

["Don Dade" <ddade@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why is it that list Nazis never understand that if it is soooo bad to post 
an off-topic message, it is equally bad to reply to it and double the amount 
of off topic messages? 

Give the guy a frickin' break and help him, why don't you, or just don't 
reply at all. 

And RTFM? That's just plain rude. How about BFC for Be F***ing Civil? 

Ajay, find your install CD #1 and look for the proftpd rpm, don't use 
wu-ftp. An even easier way would be to go to www.rpmfind.net and get the 
latest release for your RH version. 

As root, do a 'rpm -i <rpm file>' to install the ftp daemon. 

Also as root, you'll probably have to edit /etc/xinetd.conf (there may be an 
include here that actually points to /etc/xinetd.d/proftp or something 
similar) and make sure that there is no line saying 'disable=no'. If there 
is, change it to yes. 

As root, restart xinetd with '/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart'. If you still 
can't do 'ftp localhost', look in /var/log/syslog for clues. The most likely 
error is that the ftp server can't resolve it's own hostname. 

I use Mandrake, so your mileage may vary.
