Hi.

I run a SuSE 8.1.

I try to get the vsftpd to run. It says it should be started by /etc/inetd.conf. This line has been uncommented, but the vsftp will not start.

How can I get it started ?.

Did you start the inet daemon?

Yes martin its started. eurit:~ # rcinetd status Checking for inetd: running -- Med venlig hilsen - Best regards. Erik Jakobsen - erik@urbakken.dk Registered Linux user #114875 - http://counter.li.org SuSE Linux 8.1

Did you tell it to reload its configuration? sakura:~ # rcinetd reload

I did use the restart: eurit:~ # rcinetd restart -- Med venlig hilsen - Best regards. Erik Jakobsen - erik@urbakken.dk Registered Linux user #114875 - http://counter.li.org SuSE Linux 8.1

So how do you determine it's not working?

I have tried ALT-F2 and vsftpd as well as vsftpd from a terminal window.

Ok.

inetd loads up vsftpd when it needs it.

Fine.

If you want to test your server, use an ftp client [you can use konqueror by typing in: ftp://127.0.0.1/] to connect to 127.0.0.1 which is another name for "localhost" or your machine :o)

All ok.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your message. Vsftpd now is working fine :-)

Erik,

Alors Joel.

I gotten vsftp to run using the following:

Ok.

Check Yast2 > Software > Install/Remove Software and search on ftp to make sure the packages are installed.

Next use Yast2 > Network/Basic > Stop/Start Services (inetd) Choose on with custom configuration Find vsftpd and choose activate Finish

Next open a terminal, su and switch to the /etc directory. By default vsftp only allows anonymous logins. Edit vsftpd.conf to configure vsftp to allow local users to login or make other changes as required.

Reboot your machine, open a terminal and attempt to ftp 127.0.0.1 to see make sure its now working.

It is working now Joel. Many thanks for your assistance.
