Re: [aclug-L] FTP in Linux RH 5.2

["Carl B. Davis" <cdavis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have the following lines in /etc/inetd.conf

# These are standard services.
#
ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.ftpd -l -a
telnet  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.telnetd
gopher  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  gn


I checked in /usr/sbin and I don't find a file "ftpd".  I do have tcpd
in /usr/sbin/tcpd.  

I have tried removing and reinstalling FTP and wuFTP? and AnonFTP using
RPM's, but still nothing when I try to connect it in WS-FTP. 


*** UPDATE ***
I can log in as anonymous, but not using my regular login.  Using
anonymous, I am limited in the directories that I can see.  I assume
this is a security feature.  I would like to login using my regular
login and have access to my home directory, etc.  Seems like I have some
problem with permissions.
