Ok the server is in the xinetd, so It now autolaunches when I boot the computer. I have a router, and opened the apropriate ports, but I want to be able to log in anonymously, and with virtual users. Pure-ftpd handles this very weird, and when I try to load the virtual users config, heres what I get... I just want to go to ProFTP now... it looks a lot better, and I am running Redhat 8.0, just like the last fellow who posted about ProFTP
[root@localhost ___]# /usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd -lpuredb: /etc/pureftpd.pdb
421 Missing virtual users file name
[1]+ Exit 252 /usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd -l pureftpd.pdb
I dont know what this is all about, but I can't even log in anonymously... I can log in with root, or my other accounts, but I want virtual ones. If someone knows what's up, please holler, but if not I tried to uninstall the package with 'rpm -e pure-ftp*' in the corrrect directory as root, and it said error: package uninstalled, even when I do 'rpm -u pure-ftp*' it says 'error package already installed' as you can see I am a linux noob, but I have gotten my nvidia drivers installed, and run CS from WineX, so I am not totally dumb, hehe ;)
If any of you know whats going on, or If i should just throw out Pure-ftpd and use Pro-ftpd (which sounds better) please let me know how! Thx once again, The_Drake_Noob
BTW: I belive I did it correctly, becuse I looked on the official site about Virtual Users, and followed the directons, evern with the -m option while 'useradd' ing my Virtual user, so it would create the pureftpd.pdb file, and then I did 'pure-pw mkdb' to make sure that the file was updated. I installed the i686 rpm binary, as I have an Athlon XP 2200, and thats what it say's I have under KDE's proccesor tab (i686)...
