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?

First, it would be better to run it from xinetd. But if you place boot.local in /etc/init.d and chmod it to 755, it must be executable. Then at top of the script, enter #!/bin/sh Anders

boot.local is 755 chmoded in tha /etc/rc.d/ and /etc/init.d The #!/bin/sh also exists at the top of the boot.local But it doesn't start. How could i start if through xinetd ? That is the building configuration ./configure --with-virtualchroot --with-mysql --without-usernames --with-alt log --with-quotas --with-cookie --with-tls --with-certfile=/etc/ssl/private/ pure-ftpd.pem

What result do you get running the command: "/usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd -n 2000:30 etc.etc.etc."? What result do you get if just run boot.local from the command line? What is in the file "/var/log/pureftpd.log" Does the file "/etc/pureftpd-mysql.conf" exist?
How could i start if through xinetd ?
Best is to google for "pureftp xinetd" and choose the entry that seems closest to what you want to do. (The second one looks good :) ) As a tip, xinetd stores its configuration files in /etc/xinetd.d/. HTH jalal -- GPG fingerprint = 3D45 5509 D380 26A4 523E A9D8 A66A 5F38 CA43 BB0E

And the reason will be in /var/log/pureftp.log But, as James has suggested, it is probably because networking is not setup. -- GPG fingerprint = 3D45 5509 D380 26A4 523E A9D8 A66A 5F38 CA43 BB0E

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?

I thought servers, such as ftp etc., were generally started using xinetd.

Well, where is the template for creating a init script for the pure-ftpd?

/etc/init.d/skeleton is the template file, modify it for your needs, it is well documented. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

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
