Hello, I am Running RH7.0 and kernel 2.2(16-22). I want to change the default port of my ftp server daemon(wu-ftpd). I have boiled it down to changing the /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd file. The xinetd.conf is displayed below: # # Simple configuration file for xinetd # # Some defaults, and include /etc/xinetd.d/ defaults { instances = 60 log_type = SYSLOG authpriv log_on_success = HOST PID log_on_failure = HOST RECORD } includedir /etc/xinetd.d The above is what is in my /etc/xinetd.conf file. The last line includes all the file in /etc/xinetd.d directory, one of which is the wu-ftpd file I mentioned(which is displayed below). Is this right? # default: on # description: The wu-ftpd FTP server serves FTP connections. It uses \ # normal, unencrypted usernames and passwords for authentication. service ftp { socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.ftpd server_args = -l -a -p 999 log_on_success += DURATION USERID log_on_failure += USERID nice = 10 } The different variations I have tried on the server_args have been as follows: server_args = -l -a -p 999 -P 998 server_args = -l -a -s -p 999 server_args = -l -a -p999 -P998 Everytime that I restart the xinetd daemon, it is still listening on port 21. I know it shuts it down because I look when I stop in only. I look at what ports have listeners. Port 21 is not there. When I start the daemon it is still listening listened on port 21. I am not sure what else to do. Thanks for you time. Do I need to reboot?
