Same as above. It is not clear what your current configuration is. For services _not_ controlled by xinetd, "chkconfig" is not enough. You would need to start/stop these services separately, e.g. "service vsftpd start", "service vsftpd status", "service vsftpd stop". You don't need the /sbin prefix either unless you are not logged in as root properly. Try to start with a known good configuration, i.e. install the vsftpd erratum from Red Hat and keep the default configuration file for your first attempts. Don't create any conflicts between vsftpd and xinetd. - -- Michael, who doesn't reply to top posts and complete quotes anymore. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/gYmn0iMVcrivHFQRAipJAJ4t3TLMjQWA1f9IJnX+YIcKC/VXSwCeOgIo yJ+I+xKcODYQvhZSo2N4Tbs= =d+6K -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
