Apr 06 18:52:23 <wallycharlo> hi all ... im unslung and just installed vsftpd ... i edited my rc.xinetd so that it now reads '#! /bin/sh
Apr 06 18:52:23 <wallycharlo> if ( [ ! -f /etc/inetd.conf ] || !(grep telnetd /etc/inetd.conf -q) ) then
Apr 06 18:52:23 <wallycharlo> echo "telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/telnetd" >> /etc/inetd.conf
Apr 06 18:52:23 <wallycharlo> fi
Apr 06 18:52:23 <wallycharlo> echo "ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/vsftpd" >> /etc/inetd.conf
Apr 06 18:52:25 <wallycharlo> return 1
Apr 06 18:52:48 <wallycharlo> can someone tell me what else i need to do to get it working ? 
Apr 06 18:56:51 <caplink811-log> it might better looks like this http://pastebin.com/644632 in your case you ends up with x times last line in your /etc/inetd.conf
Apr 06 18:58:30 <wallycharlo> will try that thanks ... there is currently no /etc/vsftpd.conf file ... do i need to make one ? 
Apr 06 19:00:31 <caplink811-log> sorry, this is the correct version
Apr 06 19:00:32 <caplink811-log> http://pastebin.com/644641
Apr 06 19:01:16 <caplink811-log> you need a conf file, but the installer put it to /opt/etc, which is reflected in my example
Apr 06 19:07:16 <wallycharlo> he makes a double entry to /etc/inetd.conf ... it looks like this 
Apr 06 19:07:21 <wallycharlo> ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/vsftpd
Apr 06 19:07:21 <wallycharlo> ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/vsftpd
Apr 06 19:07:21 <wallycharlo> telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/telnetd
Apr 06 19:07:40 <wallycharlo> should i see an ftp process when i do a ps ? 
Apr 06 19:23:04 <caplink811_log> only when you try to connect with a ftp client, basically you will see a inetd process, nothing else
Apr 06 19:23:28 <wallycharlo> still no joy when i try to ftp in though .... 
Apr 06 19:24:12 <caplink811_log> you should delete /etc/inetd.conf and reboot
Apr 06 19:24:57 <caplink811_log> and then telnet in, without enable telnet via the web interface, if it works, then you should try a ftp connect
Apr 06 19:26:56 <wallycharlo> i set something up in the past so that i dont need to use the telnet enable from web interface anymore 
Apr 06 19:27:44 <wallycharlo> will i still be able to make a telnet connection if i delete /etc/inetd.conf  ?
Apr 06 19:31:14 <caplink811_log> that what you setup is the 1st part of /unslung/rc.xinetd , which writes the /etc/inetd.conf at each reboot, if it couldn't grep the word telnetd in it, same for the word vsftpd
Apr 06 19:31:52 * mucsleber is away - lurking -(20:39:27 p:on)7,2 -t0e7- 
Apr 06 19:34:09 <wallycharlo> ah, ok ... thanks ... ok, rebooted, now the /etc/inetd.conf is looking good, but still cannot make an ftp connection 
Apr 06 19:35:07 <caplink811_log> then you should start vsftpd in the sandalone mode on a port != 23, and see if there are any error messages
Apr 06 19:36:21 <wallycharlo> do i need to edit vsftpd.conf in order to get it to start standalone ? i get this error when i try to start from commandline ... 
Apr 06 19:36:32 <wallycharlo> 500 OOPS: vsftpd: not configured for standalone, must be started from inetd
Apr 06 19:37:58 <caplink811_log> add listen_port = 77 and listen = yes to the /opt/etc/vsftpd.conf and then try to connect the server with a ftp client on port 77
Apr 06 19:45:40 <wallycharlo> still no connect ... 
Apr 06 19:49:36 <wallycharlo> could the white space matter ? maybe i should use listen=YES instead of listen = YES , etc 
Apr 06 19:53:06 <caplink811_log> dunno, just try it... any error messages on the screen when you run /opt/sbin/vsftpd /opt/etc/vsftpd.conf ?
Apr 06 20:00:07 <wallycharlo> when i do this then the process starts fine. 
Apr 06 20:00:17 <wallycharlo> i can now ftp in ... but, i get an error ... 
Apr 06 20:00:33 <wallycharlo> 500 OOPS: vsftpd: not configured for standalone, must be started from inetd
Apr 06 20:00:45 <wallycharlo> no sorry ... thats not the error 
Apr 06 20:01:02 <wallycharlo>  failed to open vsftpd log file:/opt/var/log/vsftpd.log
Apr 06 20:02:13 <caplink811_log> so, does the directory /opt/var/log exists ?
Apr 06 20:02:20 <wallycharlo> no
Apr 06 20:02:23 <wallycharlo> should i make one ? 
Apr 06 20:02:29 <caplink811_log> yepp
Apr 06 20:03:27 <wallycharlo> new error ... cannot change to directory /root
Apr 06 20:03:38 <wallycharlo> i have no /root either 
Apr 06 20:04:04 <caplink811_log> which is normally the home dir of user root, but, does it exists?
Apr 06 20:04:43 <wallycharlo> no, i dont have this directory on my slug 
Apr 06 20:05:02 <caplink811_log> then, you should create it
Apr 06 20:06:05 <wallycharlo> k ... i can ftp in now ... thank you 
Apr 06 20:06:25 <ByronT> caplink811_log, ping and PM?
Apr 06 20:06:29 <wallycharlo> but, it seems i need to start it standalone ? 
Apr 06 20:06:29 <caplink811_log> that is step 1
Apr 06 20:06:52 <caplink811_log> ByronT,  yes ,sure
Apr 06 20:07:32 <caplink811_log> so, you should comment out the listen_port and listen parameter in the config file and try to connect the server on port 21 via inetd
Apr 06 20:07:39 <caplink811_log> and then you would read http://vsftpd.beasts.org/vsftpd_conf.html
Apr 06 20:08:03 <wallycharlo> will do ... thanks for the help ... will come back if im still stuck ... 
Apr 06 20:08:29 <caplink811_log> np
Apr 06 20:09:12 <wallycharlo> goodnight
Apr 06 21:08:51 <brownj> Hello
Apr 06 21:09:49 <caplink811_log> morning
Apr 06 21:10:47 <brownj> I've recently setup my nslu2 with openslug, works great :)
Apr 06 21:12:19 <brownj> Seems to work great, I just need to figure out the wireless.
Apr 06 21:15:34 <brownj> I plan on using it as an embedded computer in my car. I want to log OBD (Engine Diagnostics), and some gps stuff.
Apr 06 21:15:55 <caplink811_log> maybe, that is a good idea to switch to debianslug, and participate with the available packages
Apr 06 21:16:51 <brownj> Openslug seems to have what I needed, I've also compiled some other software already.
Apr 06 21:18:10 <caplink811_log> ah, ok, so just place your questions, and stay online for some hours, someone may have an answer for you
Apr 06 21:18:12 <brownj> I should probably submit a bug report or something, but I had to symlink /home/repvik/builds/openslug-2.7-beta/tmp/cross/armeb-linux/lib to /usr/lib to get some non-openslug related software to compile...
Apr 06 21:20:06 <caplink811_log> hm, with this problem you should contact NAiL at #nslu2-linux
Apr 06 21:20:53 <brownj> ok
Apr 06 21:21:03 <brownj> I fixed it for my own purposes, I just used a symlink.
Apr 06 21:21:13 <brownj> I contact that person too.
