Thanks I will look into proftpd.
I think I have found the cause of my problem. It appears the firewall is
set for high security no matter what I do.
I ran setup and checked again and found the services were running. I
checked firewall and found it set for high security. I changed it to no
firewall and restarted the computer. (didn't want to look for the service
to restart.
Ftp still did not work. Ran setup again and found firewall set for high
security! Set firewall back to no firewall, restarted anything that might
be related to firewall, xinetd, network, etc
It worked!!
rebooted the computer and it did not work again!!
Went through process again
setup - firewall - no firewall
restart all processes
worked!
Where is the file controlling the firewall settings? What do I need to do
so it will not startup?
Question 2
Anybody got xinetd.conf figured out?
I think I am close, but you know what they say about close (counts in
horseshoes and handgrenades)
This is what I have so far for tftp
service tftp
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = /tftpboot
}
What am I missing?
On version 6.2, I would have modified the inetd.conf file and added this
line:
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.tftpd /tftpboot
