(other than it isn't working) It seems to me a misconfiguration of the naming system. Have you configured /etc/resolv.conf with your real domain and one or more working name servers? What about /etc/hosts? What about /etc/rc.conf[.local]? Examples: /etc/resolv.conf domain mydomain.com nameserver 123.123.123.123 nameserver 123.123.123.124 /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost.mydomain.com localhost 192.168.0.1 myhost.mydomain.com myhost 192.168.0.1 myhost.mydomain.com. /etc/rc.conf[.local] (...) hostname="myhost.mydomain.com" (...) >To note other than ftp being turned on under inetd I have done nothing to ftpd is turned on by default on FreeBSD systems. You shouldn't do nothing in /etc/inetd.conf to enable it. >Is there a short manual somewhere on "Setting Up FTP Server on FreeBSD" The standard server is simple. The "advanced" options are in the corresponding man page. If you plan to set up a large, serious FTP server, maybe you should consider running an advanced server, such as WuFTP. You can find it in the ports, with pointers to more info. --- Stefano Riva Software Engineer - Systems Administrator Informazioni Editoriali I.E.
