Index of Subjects greets Michael, Here are the lines from my inetd.conf: #ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -l -a ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /csuite/etc/ftpd -l -a - u0133 Here I tried to ftp to myself while the first line in the inetd.conf file was active. [grimm@clublibertel grimm]$ ftp 127.0.0.1 Connected to 127.0.0.1. 220 clublibertel.qc.ca FTP server (Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-18](1) Mon Aug 3 19:17:20 EDT 1998) ready. Name (127.0.0.1:grimm): Here I tried with the Csuite ftpd in the inetd.conf active: [grimm@clublibertel grimm]$ ftp 127.0.0.1 Connected to 127.0.0.1. 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection ftp> As a further test, I copied the ftpd file from the redhat install (/usr/sbin/in.ftpd) to the /csuite/etc/ftpd/ftpd and restarted the machine with the csuite line in the inetd.conf active. I get the same error as above. So it doesn't seem to be the binary file itself. So then I tried renaming the ftpd file to in.ftpd and modifying the line in inetd.conf and it still didn't work. Last thing I tried was duplicating the original inetd.conf line from the redhat install but pointing to the /csuite/etc/ftpd/in.ftpd file, removing the -u1033 switch. Still same error. 421, Service not available. Any ideas what it could be? Where can I begin troubleshooting? Note the first time I installed csuite without the shadow pw it all worked fine. I didn't fiddle with anything in between aside from recompile csuite. So something broke along the way and I am not sure what.
