RE: proftpd

[Bill Farrell <billfarr ages com>]

Hi Y'all:

I just re-installed it yesterday on a new machine so maybe this will help.

I always have inetd start an instance of ProFTPd when necessary.  I changed
the FTP line in /etc/inetd.conf to read
ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.proftpd -d 5

Make sure that you copy or link the ProFTPd binary in /usr/sbin where the
rest of the inet stuff lives.  SigHUP your inetd (killall -HUP inetd).

Depending you how you configured the make for ProFTPd, the config file could
be in /etc or /usr/local/etc.  Just make sure that it's available for the
service when it starts.

Heat, stir, and enjoy.

Bill

Try 'rpm -ql proftpd | less' to get a list that should show you where
files are placed. There are others as weel and you might need to check
them (proftpd-standalone, proftpd-inetd, etc) to get what you're looking
for.

If you install something then try 'locate' it won't work. First you need
to 'updatedb' (as root) then you can try locate to find where things
went.
