I have RH7.3, at the suggestion of this list, I installed ProFTPd instead of default WuFTPd that came with RH73
however, when I 1st got the ProFTPD, I totally forgot (being a newbie) that I was 'supposed to' use RPMs. Instead, I downloaded the source, compiled, started using (no credit to me, credit to supplied docs) that worked good. now, however, I came across the updated ProFTPd packaged as an RPM. when I tried to install the ProFTPD RPM, rpm complained about numerous conficlts with WuFTPD files I then RPM erased WuFTPD, then, rpm installed ProFTPD this time, install succeeded. so, now I have rpm-installed ProFTPd, and, it works: Question: when 'rmp=erasing' Wu-FTPD, rpm created: -rw------- 1 root root 1948 Aug 9 07:28 ftpaccess.rpmsave -rw------- 1 root root 79 Jul 15 10:13 ftpusers.rpmsave ftpusers got recreated: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 191 Nov 3 11:38 ftpusers BUT, I no longer have 'ftpaccess' do I need /etc/ftpaccess with ProFTPd, should I manually recrceate it from ftpacess.rpmsave ? -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
