[CLUE-Tech] cannot get ftpd started

[Jason Friedman]

I'm trying to get an ftp daemon running.  I'm using Red Hat 7.3.  I tried starting it through xinetd, but no luck (I'm reasonably sure I know how to use xinetd, as I started telnetd and ipop3d that way).

So, I tried a brute force method:

$ /usr/sbin/in.ftpd

But,

$ ps -ef | grep ftp
root     27081     1  0 Sep14 ?        00:02:51 /usr/bin/gftp-gtk
root     27084 27081  0 Sep14 ?        00:00:04 /usr/bin/gftp-gtk

and,

$ tail /var/log/messages
