hey people.
i grabbed glftp RC2 from glftpd.com and installed it using the install script.
that went fine, no erroes occured. Now i can't start my glftpd. i have tried making a script as shown in /docs/README.xinetd and i have tried to start it manually using the arguments in /docs/README.xinetd and nothing happens.

debian:/glftpd/glftpd/bin# ./glftpd -l -o -i
debian:/glftpd/glftpd/bin#

debian:/glftpd/glftpd/bin# ps aux |grep glftp
root 4190 0.0 0.3 1572 456 pts/96 R+ 14:40 0:00 grep glftp

So i can see its not started.. can anyone tell me how to start it?

If you use xinetd to start glftpd, then it will not show with ps.
Try netstat -ta to see if port 21 is listening, or try to ftp to your box.
Regards

am using init.d but i assume the same applies there.
I can't conenct to it though, however it does show up in netstat -ta

tcp 0 0 *:glftpd *:* LISTEN

(should listen on port 23222, and not port 21)

If it shows like this with netstat, then
to see what port is glftpd listening. If it listens to wrong port (e.g. 21) I guess you can change it's config file and restart inetd.
