I figured it out after reading trough the /etc/init.d/vsftpd file. I had to move /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf to /etc/vsftpd.conf (default location) and edit the file to remove the line standalone=yes. It seems that Redhats way of using non-standard locations for conf files is what could me into trouble.

I tried using hosts.allow and hosts.deny like I did in the past, but I couldn't get it to work (I cleared there contents in the end). So I decided to use xinetd and downloaded the xinetd/vsftpd script and installed in /etc/xinetd.d. It seemed to work at first, but now I keep getting "500 OOPS: could not bind listening socket" messages when I try to connect locally. It worked before I added the only_from statement in /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd. After some tweaking (different IP's, subnets etc) the ftp daemon was acting weird and I removed the only_from statement in /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd. Restarted xinetd a few times with "service xinetd restart", rebooted etc. But couldn't get it working anymore (the 500 error). I even removed /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd and installed a fresh copy, reinstalled the RPM (removing /etc/init.d/vsftpd every time). I don't get any errors in /var/log/messages. So I did a netstat -an only to discover something listening on 0.0.0.0:21. So I stopped xinetd did netstat again, but now 0.0.0.0:21 is gone. So how come xinetd is stating that it could not bind a listening socket? Or I'm slowly realizing that I don't fully comprehend the whole inetd/xinetd setup of my machine. Is it so that some services are still started trough inetd, while others start trough xinetd? What's the point of this? And since I can't find a inetd.conf file anymore how do I figure out how inetd is configured? Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm especially curious if someone can explain the Redhat 9 setup for inetd/xinetd, non-standard location of conf files etc. Thanks in advance. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
