Hi, SuSE-8.2 Yast2 -> Network Basic click-click -> Start inet service click-click -> activate click-click -> service ftp in.ftpd or vsftpd click-click running -> leave Yast2 root# /etc/init.d/xinetd status : not running root# /etc/init.d/xinetd start root# /etc/init.d/xinetd status : running (the first time) root# /etc/init.d/xinetd status : not running (immediately after) Thus impossible to have the xinetd daemon running. I had the same problem one month ago and somebody sent a screenshot on how to click-click in Yast2 and it worked. I could have Ftp connection between my laptop and my main post. Then suddenly the xinetd daemon stopped to work. Where do I have to click-click or which god do I have to pray to convince Yast2 to have the xinetd daemon working. Don't mention SSH or SCP which I know. I just want to transfer files quickly with MC (Midnight Commander). Thanks for any suggestion. -- Alain Barthélemy cassandre@bartydeux.be http://www.bartydeux.be Linux User #315631

Checked the logs? /var/log/xinetd.log /var/log/messages What do they say about your attempts to start xinetd? Cheers, Leen

Good idea. I lost my old habits (Linux works better and better). In /var/log/messages: Bad log_on_failure flag RECORD [line=12] A local error was encountered while parsing the default section, xinetd will exit In /etc/xinetd.conf: log_type = FILE /var/log/xinetd.log log on_failure = HOST ATTEMPT RECORD === /var/log/xinetd.log does not exist I commented in /etc/xinetd.conf The line: #log_on_failure = HOST ATTEMPT RECORD And ... I can make FTP connection now. Apparently xinetd failed to log a failure. Problem of SuSE default configuration?

Good idea. I lost my old habits (Linux works better and better).
In /var/log/messages:
Bad log_on_failure flag RECORD [line=12] A local error was encountered while parsing the default section, xinetd will exit
The error message indicates that there is an parse error on that line: The word 'RECORD' is not recognized.
In /etc/xinetd.conf:
log_type = FILE /var/log/xinetd.log log on_failure = HOST ATTEMPT RECORD
On my old 8.2 system that still is laying around, I have this: log on_failure = HOST ATTEMPT
===
/var/log/xinetd.log does not exist I commented in /etc/xinetd.conf
The line:
#log_on_failure = HOST ATTEMPT RECORD
Remove comment sign and the word 'RECORD'
And ... I can make FTP connection now. Apparently xinetd failed to log a failure.
It could not parse it's config file.
Problem of SuSE default configuration?
Is it really the default configuration? ;) Cheers, Leen

YES OUI JA DA NêM I have something else to do than editing my /etc/inetd.conf file. Thank you,
