I am using Mandrake 9.1 and I am not using the RPM of proftpd, I downloaded 1.2.8 and installed it with the default options. It went into /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/sbin and /usr/local/etc. I just left it there, should I move the stuff to the /bin, /sbin and /etc? Would that effect anything?
I configured proftpd so I can log in and update my apache server and browse shares on my windows machines (thanks to the older posts in this forum). The only thing was I had to start it up every time I restarted the computer. So I wanted it to run when the computer was started. So I changed the type from standalone to inetd, and added an entry to /etc/xinetd.d/proftpd. When I rebooted I couldn't log into the ftp. I am assuming it is because proftpd didn't start. What else do I have to do to get proftpd to start on bootup (I am not against using standalone on bootup, I just don't know how).
One other thing I looked at was the log files for proftpd, and all that was in there was the last time I started it up in standalone mode. So I assume it is not even starting in with xinetd. When I looked at my system log, the only error I could find was this. I get fairly late into the bootup stage (right before the stuff in my rc.local runs I think).
Code:
Aug 3 18:41:55 rawkuts xinetd[3265]: warning: can't get client address: Transport endpoint is not connected
Aug 3 18:41:55 rawkuts xinetd[3265]: libwrap refused connection to sgi_fam from <no address>
Aug 3 18:41:55 rawkuts xinetd[1125]: Deactivating service sgi_fam due to excessive incoming connections. Restarting in 30 seconds.
I get about 25 of those warnings and libwrap refused before it says it deactivates sgi_fam. Is something that is stopping proftpd from running?
Here are my conig files:
