There is no reason this should not work, unless you are on some creepy system, or I may not have the full context here. Let's say you may be doing IPv6 and the ftpd that's called from inetd6 is not IPv6 ready? In that case, check the path in inetd.conf and make sure you've got the IPv6 ready ftpd invoked instead of the old one. However, on FreeBSD you have everything IPv6 ready out of the box these days. I'm sure you have some file version mess-up, because I would even trust Linux these days to be able to make a standard FTP connection :-). It sometimes helps to take all security down for a moment. Be aware that ftp needs a separate data channel, so if you do IP filters and TCP wrappers you might get into all sorts of troubles if you don't know exactly what you're doing. regards -Gunther Anastasia Leventi-Peetz wrote: > > although in the bieringer Site it is explicitly written that the > ftpd-BSD must be started in standalone modus, I had tried to build it in > the inetd.conf and that was the reason why I couldn't make ftp to > a host where the ftpd-BSD was started by ftp request.
