What exactly is an in.* file? Why in.ftpd is not the same file as ftpd? After building the wu-ftpd files from wu-ftpd-2.6.1.tar.gz, I edited the inetd.conf file and have the ftp line point to the new executable ### ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/ftpd -l -a ### Tried to ftp to my box and get: Connected to mybox.mydomain.com. Connection closed by remote host. I copied ftpd to /usr/sbin, renamed the file to in.ftpd, tried again and get Connected to mybox.mydomain.com.. 500 mybox.mydomain.com FTP server shut down -- please try again later. User (mybox.mydomain.com:(none)): Connection closed by remote host. Everything used to work fine when I install the service from a RPM package. What have I done wrong?
