Ubuntu xinetd configuration for proftpd 5

Posted by James Wilford Wed, 04 Oct 2006 18:19:00 GMT

When you "sudo apt-get install proftpd" on Ubuntu, debconf will tell you that if you're using xinetd then you're on your own. Here is what you need to put in /etc/xinetd.d/proftpd to make it work:

# default: on
# description: ProFTPD FTP server
service ftp
{
   flags = REUSE
   socket_type = stream
   instances = 50
   wait = no
   user = root
   server = /usr/sbin/proftpd
}

Then just do "sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd restart", and you're all set.
