Re: [suse-security] cannot access ftp server -- getpeername (in.ftpd): Transport endpoint is not connected

Hi, Thank you for the hints. Will tell you when the problem is actually solved. Currently, I am using proftpd in standalone as a workaround. Just like the standard in.ftpd, proftpd did not work in inetd mode; in standalone, it does. So I will try to fix inetd when I have more time.

I suppose so; but any way, run it manually, from the rescue CD, spscially if there is a reiser partition somewhere.
*** 2) maybe there was a configuration change time ago, that did not get activated because the services afected were not restarted at the time, till this forced reboot. *** That is theoretically possible. Still clueless, though...
Configuration file for ftp server, /etc/host*, resolv, dns files and server (if present)... firewall files... password/groups files... -- Saludos Carlos Robinson

/etc/inetd.conf should contain a line like this: ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -- Stefan Tichy ( s.list at pi4tel dot de )

I know; that is what I commented out so I could bind proftpd to port 21 in standalone mode. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stefan Tichy" <nobody@localhost.invalid> To: <suse-security@suse.com> Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2004 1:57 AM /etc/inetd.conf should contain a line like this: ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd

but shouldn't it look like this: in /etc/inetd.conf ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/sbin/proftpd and in /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf ServerType inetd to start proftpd in inetd mode? c y Torsten

By standard, inetd.conf was set to use in.ftpd. After this started to fail, I changed it to start proftpd from inetd, resulting in the same error messages (ith in.ftpd substituted by proftpd). Now I commented all ftp lines in inetd.conf out and am using proftpd in standalone. Cheers, Matthias
