Internet Daemons are started by inetd, including ftpd. When inetd detects a connection on port 21 (per /etc/services), it launches ftpd. You can see if it's working by simply typing 'ftp localhost'. You should get: $> ftp localhost Connected to localhost.zoomtel.com 220 localhost.zoomtel.com FTP server (Version 6.00) ready. Name (localhost:gordonm): Or something similar. Login in on a virtual terminal (ALT-F2) and do a `ps -ax | grep ftpd` and you should see something like: 534 ?? Ss 0:00.03 ftpd: localhost.0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA: connected (ftpd) The conf file for inetd is /etc/inetd.conf If you make any changes, remember to 'kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`'. -Jeremy -===================================================================- Jeremy Shaffner JORSM Internet Senior Technical Support Northwest Indiana's Premium jer@jorsm.com Internet Service Provider support@jorsm.com http://www.jorsm.com -===================================================================- On Thu, 7 May 1998, Gordon McConarty wrote: > > From: Gordon McConarty <gordonm@zoomtel.com> > Subject: > Date: Friday, April 17, 1998 5:03 PM > > Hello. > I seem to have an issue with FreeBSD 2.2.6 which I have on CD Roms. > When installing and setting up this version I am asked if I want to make the > machine a FTP Server where I answer YES and then leave the next screen at > the defaults. > > The ftpd daemon never loads upon restart. > I check the /etc/rc.conf file and ftpd is not listed. > > This option, when using FreeBSD v.2.2.5, worked fine. > > Is this something I am doing wrong or is this a reported issue. > > Thanks for any help. > > > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
