I am running RHEL 4 2.6.9-67
when I execute th command "ftp localhost" I get
the error "500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv4 socket.

In the file vsftpd.conf I have "listen-NO"

The file /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd is as

"
service ftp
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/vsftpd
nice = 10
}

I have restarted the xinetd with the command
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd" restart after edits to the vsftpd.config.

I'm struggling with this is there any dicent doc I have searched extensivly on google.

Thanks

Are there any error messages in your log files?

Let us know

I have looked at the /var/log/messages and was able to resolve an issue
with the file /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd. Line should have been "disable = no"
vs "disable=no".Fixed on both workstations.

Now when I try to ftp from 131.32.98.19 to 131.98.32.18 I get the error
"500 OOPS: cannot locate user specified in 'ftp_username' :ftp"

I can successfully ftp from 131.98.32.18 to 131.98.32.19.

The file /etc/hosts.allow has the text "vsftpd:All" on 131.98.32.18
