Default Re: Ftp Problems

Hm, none of them has an explicit
Code:
disable = yes/no
so whichever is used? I can not find a default for this value in
Code:
man xinetd.conf
I had another question: What did you do to start it (ftp does not run by dfault as ken_yap already explained)?.

When the default for disable is yes, both will be configured which is not really possible. When the default is no, there would not be an ftp service, but there is.

You could try to add disable statements to both, one with yes and the other with no. Find out what xinetd''s PID is with
Code:
ps -ef | grep xinetd
(make no mistakes here) and (as root) do:
Code:
kill -HUP <pid-of-xinetd>
This will force xinetd to reread its configuration. Then first check with
Code:
netstat -ap | grep ftp
if xinetd is still listening. Then try your ftp client.

Change yes and no and do it all again for checking the other server-program.
