I suggest you remove "listen=NO".
First I checked Ubuntu's /etc/vsftpd.conf, which is working for my ipv4 network. It has: listen=YES for ipv4 then listen_ipv6 is commented. So I copied the same way but the result was the same: suse123:/etc # systemctl start vsftpd suse123:/etc # systemctl status vsftpd vsftpd.service - Vsftpd ftp daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/vsftpd.service; disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed, 2013-10-02 20:08:55 PDT; 13s ago Process: 6008 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd.conf (code=exited, status=2) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/vsftpd.service Oct 02 20:08:55 suse123.toshi-home systemd[1]: Starting Vsftpd ftp daemon...

But always ended up with the same "failed" status. At this point, I'm thinking the problem is somewhere else. As long as vsftpd is running on one of two machines I can move miles around either way so I'm going to keep using vsftpd running on Ubuntu machine. It's just annoying that I can't run the same thing on OpenSuSE with its default setting but that's one of reasons I have two machines with different distributions to save my time. I might try it again when 13.1 has been released. Toshi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
