Hello
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 run, before any networking starts. I suspect the ftp service won't start without networking. Can it not be started, using /etc/xinetd.d?
Why not just create its own startup script using the template in /etc/init.d? That's what it is there for.
I thought servers, such as ftp etc., were generally started using xinetd.
