I am trying to get proftp working (which it is) but I get an error when I boot this machine up. I am running 7.0. I get this message on start up: "Starting ProFTP Server: myname.local-Fatal: Socket operation on non-socket myname.local - (Running from command line? Use 'ServerType standalone' in config file!) I understand that part. But I might have something set wrong - any suggestions? When I type in "ftp localhost" to test everything, I get this: Tying ::1... FTP: connect to address ::1: Connection Refused. Trying 127.0.0.1 Connected to localhost 220 ProFTP 1.2.0 Server (powered by SuSE Linux) Here is the part that I don't get. I do not recall ever setting an address of "::1:" anywhere. The IP of this machine is 10.0.0.1?? I have this same startup error (as mentioned above) on my work machine too, just have never

taken the time to mess with it either. Any suggestions?

The "::1" is IPv6 stuff. If you're not using IPv6 at all, you should be able to just comment this stuff out of /etc/hosts. hth Ken -- Ken Hughes (kenh@ast-inc.com) | There are three ways to get Automated Systems of Tacoma, Inc. | something done: do it yourself, Information Technology | hire someone to do it, or forbid 253.475.0200(Voice) / 253.472.7164(Fax) | your kids to do it.
