[rhn-users] xinetd breaks my proftpd server

["jherschel" <jherschel quarry com>]

Hello,

I tried updating my xinetd from version xinetd-2.3.9-0.73 to
xinetd-2.3.11-1.7x the other day.  Now when I try to log in via ftp to a
proftpd server running proftpd-1.2.5-1 through xinetd, I get the message
"Connection Refused".  I've since rolled back, but can anyone tell me why
upgrading xinetd would break this? I restarted the daemon and my
/etc/xinetd.d/proftpd file was unchanged.  Maybe I need to upgrade proftpd?

/etc/xinetd.d/proftpd:

service ftp
{
        flags           = REUSE
        socket_type     = stream
        instances       = 50
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/sbin/proftpd
        log_on_success  = HOST PID
        log_on_failure  = HOST RECORD
}

/etc/hosts.allow is empty
/etc/hosts.deny is empty

Again, every version I've patched via RPM works fine, it's just this latest
one.  And when I roll back, it works perfect again.

Thanks in advance!
