Im trying to include PFTPD in rc.inet1 so that I dont have to initiate the daemon. How do I do this?

Does anyone know how to do this?

You dont have to do this. We've told you how to get it to start on boot in your other thread.

in /etc/inetd.conf make sure this is set:

# ProFTPD FTP Daemon:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd proftpd


in /etc/proftpd.conf make sure this is set:

#ServerType standalone
ServerType inetd
DefaultServer on

# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.
Port 21

You dont need to run it as a daemon, inetd will start it when it receives a call on port 21, and close it when the user is done. As long as the user has a valid UNIX account, done with adduser, then when the user logs in they will go straight to their /home/<username> directory.

Dont try to connect as root

You shouldnt need to modify any other files to get it to run.

Ok... although you tell me that it should startup by itself... id doesnt, and inetd doesnt seem to be starting it. I need to find a way to make sure that this is getting started on boot becuase i dont want to have to run it manually everytime.

in your other post you said you had to start it manually, after a reboot and it worked.

Try putting the command you use to start it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
ie: if you use /usr/sbin/proftpd -n then put that line in rc.local.

so your rc.local file would look like this:

# Start /etc/rc.d/rc.local
/usr/sbin/proftpd -n
# End /etc/rc.d/rc.local

rc.local is the last thing to be run before the login prompt is displayed.

Thank you... But I put it into the rc.inet2 file by and it load just fine. Thanks again man.

No prob, glad you got it working.
