When You have this line in inetd.conf ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd vsftpd

And You reboot (or do "rcinetd restar" as root), this change comes into effect.

If You have enable the inetd for that runlevel, it is waiting for connections.

Actually inetd daemon sees the connection request, looks for what port is that request made (have a look at /etc/services), then looks if there is a server configure in inetd.conf to serve that request (service-name from /etc/services). If so, it start it... In this case with command "/usr/sbin/tcpd vsftpd".

I installed vsftpd on SuSE 8.0 via apt-get install. It doesn't appear in the Yast runlevel editor. I seem to have all the required directories. How do I get it running? Thanks, Steve.

while there you may want to get the rpm and install it it wiill integrate into susehelp center

Thanks but still no luck. It says Install the package, enable inetd to run it,. . . I have the following line in etc/inetd.conf ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd vsftpd and I have rebooted. What I don't understand is the 'enable inetd to run it. How do I get inetd to run it plese? Steve.

I'm trying to get my xconsole back on the KDE desktop. My /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup contains the lines == # # Only for display :0 we have to set up the xconsole to be # sure that the system messages are visible. # case "$DISPLAY" in :0|:0.0) ;; *) exit 0 ;; esac # # The geometry of xconsole is set in the Xresource file. # ( exec setsid $xconsole -notify -nostdin -verbose -exitOnFail ) & echo $! > /var/run/xconsole.pid exit 0 == These should start xconsole. In fact it flashes very briefly on the screen sometimes just before KDE starts. If I run a script with these line in after starting KDE I get an xconsole as desired. Suggestions please. I like my xconsole :-) JDL

I have configured apache to server vitual hosts from the following location: /home/httpd/public_access/ V1/ V2/ etc. All virtual accounts exist in a user directory call httpd and are served from the public_html directory as ipbased virtual hosts. I would like to use vsftp as the users want ftp access (sftp is too difficult). Is there a way to configure either via the filesystem (uid, gid) and or vsftp to allow users only access to their individual accounts V1, V2, V3..an no where else. TIA /ch
