Problems with ProFTPd
United States	2007-02-25 00:26:49
Hi all; I installed XinetD and rebooted. I am having issues with running ProFTPD from the optware packages. I installed it fine, no errors occured. No matter what I do, I can't get it to run via xinetd. ps -aux \| grep xinet 500 root 2280 S /opt/sbin/xinetd /var/log/messages: <31>Feb 26 00:53:41 xinetd[500]: Reading included configuration file: /opt/etc/xinetd.d/ftp-sensor [file=/opt/etc/xinetd.conf] [line=15] <31>Feb 26 00:53:41 xinetd[500]: Reading included configuration file: /opt/etc/xinetd.d/proftpd [file=/opt/etc/xinetd.d/proftpd] [line=70] <31>Feb 26 00:53:41 xinetd[500]: Reading included configuration file: /opt/etc/xinetd.d/telnetd [file=/opt/etc/xinetd.d/telnetd] [line=16] <31>Feb 26 00:53:41 xinetd[500]: removing ftp <29>Feb 26 00:53:41 xinetd[500]: xinetd Version 2.3.14 started with no options compiled in. <29>Feb 26 00:53:41 xinetd[500]: Started working: 2 available services /opt/etc/xinetd.d/ftp-sensor has the following: service ftp { # This is for quick on or off of the service disable = yes /opt/etc/proftpd.conf has the following: ServerName "ProFTPD Default Installation" ServerType inetd DefaultServer on WtmpLog off # Port 21 is the standard FTP port.

Never mind - I see that's the ftp sensor config, not the real one. I presume that the "disable" line is set to "no" in /opt/etc/xinetd.d/proftpd, then? You can't run proftpd from the command line with a config file that specifies it to run from inetd -- basically, the way inetd works is that it fires up proftpd, and passes the network connection to it. You need to look for a command line switch to override the "ServerType inetd" line in order to fire it up manually.

Note that you also need to remove or disable the proftpd startup entry if one exists from /opt/etc/init.d/ >when trying to run proftpd from /etc/sbin, I get: > ># proftpd >LXXXXXX - fatal: Socket operation on non-socket > Probably because port 21 is locked by the proftpd entry in xinetd. Suggest that the best way forward here is firstly get Proftpd up and running correctly as a stand alone program. So you will need to disable the xinetd start up of this program in the file /opt/etc/xinetd.d/proftpd and re-boot xinetd. Then edit /opt/etc/proftpd.conf changing the ServerType for standard mode. When you have it working correctly, you can then re-configure for xinetd. -- Robert Hammond PGP:0x154144DA ------------------------ Yahoo!
