I've just installed proftpd 1.2.9. on Fedora Core 1

I've edited the proftpd.conf file to use testuser (useradd -M testuser) and group testuser instead of group because it said that user nobody didn't exist(yet when i tried to create user nobody i couldn't because there was one.)

Then I added a file called "proftp" to /etc/xinetd.d/

service ftp
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/proftpd
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}


I restarted xinetd then started proftpd

I then tried ftping to localhost but it tells me that

"421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection"

So after i got that i tried ftp'ing to 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.100 just to see if it would do the same, It did.

So i looked at iptables --list and it says

"ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere stat NEW tcp dpt; ftp"

From that I would figure that it would accept ftp connections.

Can anyone offer some help with this?



ProFTPD.CONF FILE BELOW

# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to
# 'proftpd.conf' for actual use. It establishes a single server
# and a single anonymous login. It assumes that you have a user/group
# "nobody" and "ftp" for normal operation and anon.

# To prevent DoS attacks, set the maximum number of child processes
# to 30. If you need to allow more than 30 concurrent connections
