First off, thanks for the walk-through. I am new to Red Hat, so some things are still on my "to learn" list. I am technical support for an app that runs on Linux and sometimes I get OS questions that I can't answer.
Theat being said, I went through the items that you detailed and I got stopped at netstat. Obviously, there isn't an ftp process running. I ran chkconfig and nothing showed up. I did get a list in the rpm step. It included the following: gftp-2.0.8-2 ncftp-3.0.3-6 ftp-0.17-12.1.1 Do any of these entries mean anything? I ran the same thing on my Linux server and got a great deal more, including all the ones listed above.
