Where is inetd.conf in fedora?

jon_k · 04-18-2004, 04:11 PM

Hi, I went to http://freebsdhowtos.com/63.html to learn how to set up proftpd... got it compiled and all

Now, i dont wanna run it standalone

So that page above (http://freebsdhowtos.com/63.html) says how to put it in indetd on freebsd

Where is the inetd where I can add those lines of code for fedora?

Thanks

I think Fedora uses the xinetd instead of inetd.
There ought to be a /etc/xinetd.d/ directory unless they have made a totally new layout since Red Hat 9.0

Fedora uses xinetd rather then inetd. I forget where exactly the xinetd conf file is.

I don't know about Fedora specials but /etc/xinetd.conf is the default config file and /etc/xinetd.d/ the default location for xinetd service scripts.

Here is what is in xinetd.conf

#
# Simple configuration file for xinetd
#
# Some defaults, and include /etc/xinetd.d/

defaults
{
instances = 60
log_type = SYSLOG authpriv
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST
cps = 25 30
}

includedir /etc/xinetd.d

Will I be able to add the following lines to it and have it load proftpd

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/proftpd -c /etc/proftpd.conf proftpd

Okay, I added the following to my xinetd.conf file

restarted my system, and ftp didn't seem to work

heres what i added
service ftp
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
instances = 50
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/local/sbin/proftpd
bind = 192.168.0.1
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST RECORD
}

where bind = my LAN ip address
and server = location of proftpd

This isn't working, what did i do wrong

You shouldn't probably edit your xinetd.conf file at all. The /etc/xinetd.d directory contains service scripts for xinetd, and that's what you want to create.

Remove your changes from the xinetd.conf file and get started on one. I don't run proftpd from xinetd (I have it running as a daemon instead), but this is the Gentoo xinetd script for proftpd. It should be enough to get you started:

Code:

#
# ProFTPd FTP daemon - http://www.proftpd.org
#
service ftp
{
       flags            = REUSE
       socket_type      = stream
       instances        = 30
       wait             = no
       user             = root
       server           = /usr/sbin/proftpd
       log_on_success   = HOST PID
       log_on_failure   = HOST
       disable          = yes
}

You will need to set "disable = no" in order for it to work. Also verify that the path (/usr/sbin/proftpd) is valid, or change it so it matches your own setup.
