Re: [SLE] boot.local failed

I installed the pure-ftpd from source and i want to start it when the system boots.

I added that line in the /etc/rc.d/boot.local

/usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd -n 2000:30 -S my.server.com,21 -c 100 -C 2 -E -A -O clf:/var/log/pureftpd.log --tls=1 -F /home/.banner -l mysql:/etc/pureftpd-mysql.conf &

But it doesn't start.

Does anyone know what causes that malfunction?

boot.local is started before networking, etc., is set up. Is there a reason to compile? Just use the pure-ftpd that comes with the distro. It will be much easier. Alternatively, you could check out the src.rpm to see how SuSE did it. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
