ftp questions....

[bruce]

ok...

here's what i get...

[root at lserver2 /]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd
# default: on
# description: The wu-ftpd FTP server serves FTP connections. It uses \
#       normal, unencrypted usernames and passwords for authentication.
service ftp
{
        disable = no
        socket_type             = stream
        wait                    = no
        user                    = root
        server                  = /usr/local/sbin/in.proftpd
##      server_args             = -l -a
        log_on_success          += DURATION
        nice                    = 10
}


does this mean that whoever set this up is actually using the 'wu-ftpd' file
to run a 'PROftpd' server??? and why???

also, how can i find the actual config file to modify!!!!

thanks for all the help....

Look for the line 'disable' in files /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd and
/etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd. Is should be read as 'yes' at least in one of
these files. The actual FTP server is that _without_ 'yes' for this
option (or with 'no' value fot 'disable').
