thanks for that but i do not have any files in that directory that end with ftpd
the only file that i have is proftpd-xinetd
and in that file it does not mention any of the setting that you have put in you message
i put the stuff in exatly as you said and when the disabled=no is in the file it actually switches the service off anyway
and it seem that the bind thing has not worked
syslog displays these messages:
START: ftp pid= 2374 from=silver
libwrap refused connection to ftp from silver
FAIL: libwrap from=silver
EXIT: ftp pid= 2374 from silver
plus i have tryed using the swat service and all
it does is give me a file to download
and the text in the file is just garbled ( like if you edit an executeable file )
i have found that i can run proftpd manually by typing proftpd -c /etc/proftpd.conf
and t starts and seems to work
Sorry, I assumed wu-ftpd. Anyway I just decided to try proftpd since so many ppl were talking about it.
I just downloaded the rpm, installed and it, made the above changes in /etc/xinetd.d/proftpd and tried. But could not login. ( Got a connection closed message ).
Did a little bit of work and found /etc/proftpd.conf should have something like
ServerType inetd
insted of default type standalone.
After fixing this I could login.
I am not sure about any other feature of proftp. Try this and if it works fine!.

PS: It is disable=no NOT disabled.
