proftpd will not run under xinetd


Hello, having problems with a friends setup.

He is using xinetd and we can get proftpd to run as standadlone but when we tell it to run on xinetd DOS will say that the server activly refused the connection

Any idea on how to fix this?

Hi,

You don't mention this, but did you change the ServerType standalone to ServerType inetd?

xinetd entry should look like this (man xinetd for details):

service ftp
{
socket_type= stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= root
server= /usr/sbin/proftpd
server_args= ""
per_source= 8
log_type= FILE /var/log/xinetd/proftpd
log_on_success= PID HOST USERID EXIT DURATION
log_on_failure= USERID ATTEMPT
}


BTW: Proftpd prevers the standalone mode.

Hope this helps.
