Hi all, Posted earlier regd. trouble with proftp. i ran an nmap on the machine and i see that port 20 is closed however, port 21 is open. could that cause a problem?? my inetd.conf and proftpd.conf files look fine from what i can tell..... thx db original post follows: Hi all, I'm a linux newbie. installed Suse v 7.1 and i cant get the ftp daemon up. i downloaded the latest version of proftpd and installed it. CANNOT manage to get it up using inetd, could get it up as a standalone service by pointing proftpd to the proftpd.conf file. also noticed that i can't create any users/groups using the UI. it cant find the following files: /etc/yppasswd /etc/ypgroup they dont exist in the file system. any help would be appreciated. thx. db
