Which process has ftp on solaris 10?

Hi!

I just started ftp doing

Quote:

svcadm -v enable ftp

then

Quote:

svcs -xv ftp

tells me that ftp is online but doing

Quote:

ps -Af

doesn't show me anything that look like a ftp process.

1) Has ftp a special name that doesn't have ftp in it?
2) where are the logs for ftp? Couldn't find them in /var/svc/log/ ?

Thanks.

ftpd doesn't actually start running until the port is hit...

That's correct.
The process listening to the ftp port (21) is inetd.

Thanks. I could now see that the process is running indeed.
