Hi there,

I am trying to enable real users to FTP to my Red Hat 6 server. However, whenever I add an uncommented FTP line to inetd.conf, it gets rewritten after bootup. The line looks like:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -l -L -i -o

I have checked the file after editing it in EMACS to make sure that I saved it, and I see the line there until I reboot. I have tried sending inetd the killall -HUP inetd after editing and before rebooting, but no luck.

Any ideas?? Thanks a bunch!
