Jun 29 13:56:35 <effem> hi caplink
Jun 29 13:56:51 <caplink811> hi, well, what's your problem
Jun 29 13:56:52 <caplink811> ?
Jun 29 13:57:05 <effem> i've installed vsftpd but the daemon won't run
Jun 29 13:57:37 <effem> i've added the line to /unslung/rc.xinetd
Jun 29 13:57:37 <caplink811> installed as a standalone version, or started by inetd?
Jun 29 13:58:02 <effem> how can I see this; I just did ipkg install vsftpd
Jun 29 13:58:24 <caplink811> k. then started via inetd
Jun 29 13:58:36 <effem> i was looking at this: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/Vsftpd
Jun 29 13:58:58 <effem> it says: Restart xinetd with /etc/rc.d/rc.xinetd 
Jun 29 13:59:15 <effem> this changes the conf file but inetd does not seem to pick up the chagne
Jun 29 13:59:55 <caplink811> well, so let us verify, what's in /etc/inetd.conf, pls cat /etc/inetd.conf
Jun 29 14:00:29 <effem> # cat /etc/inetd.conf
Jun 29 14:00:29 <effem> telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/telnetd
Jun 29 14:00:29 <effem> ftp stream tcp nowait root /opt/sbin/vsftpd /opt/etc/vsftpd.conf
Jun 29 14:00:45 <caplink811> this looks fine
Jun 29 14:00:49 <effem> yup
Jun 29 14:01:02 <caplink811> /opt/sbin/vsftpd exist?
Jun 29 14:01:40 <caplink811> stay
Jun 29 14:01:47 <effem> yup, mode 775 owner root
Jun 29 14:01:50 <caplink811> k
Jun 29 14:02:24 <caplink811> what you expect, if you execute /etc/rc.d/rc.xinetd ?
Jun 29 14:03:16 <effem> if I examine the script it should restart the inetd and if I look at the pid of inetd it indeed does
Jun 29 14:03:41 <caplink811> k, that's all what happens, and that's enough
Jun 29 14:03:46 <effem> the odd thing is that the telnetd is indeed started
Jun 29 14:04:05 <caplink811> what happens, if you try a ftp connection?
Jun 29 14:04:14 <caplink811> stay
Jun 29 14:04:22 <caplink811> hm
Jun 29 14:05:26 <effem> that's a good one, if I try ftp in a dos box it says:
Jun 29 14:05:26 <effem> C:\Documents and Settings\Frans>ftp 192.
Jun 29 14:05:26 <effem> Verbonden met 192.168.123.77.
Jun 29 14:05:26 <effem> 500 OOPS: failed to open vsftpd log file
Jun 29 14:05:26 <effem> Verbinding verbroken door externe host.
Jun 29 14:05:43 <effem> do I need to create the log dir
Jun 29 14:05:51 <effem> (and apologies for the dutch)
Jun 29 14:06:04 <caplink811> moment pls, must have a look at vsftpd.conf
Jun 29 14:06:22 <effem> ok
Jun 29 14:07:18 <caplink811> /opt/var/log (as directory) shoud exist, and vsftpd must have write permission on this directory
Jun 29 14:07:24 <effem> got it working, I created the log dir
Jun 29 14:07:28 <caplink811> s/shoud/sould
Jun 29 14:07:52 <effem> ok, tried that when you were looking at the conf script and indeed it now works
Jun 29 14:08:16 <caplink811> nice
Jun 29 14:08:17 <effem> I feel this should be in the wiki: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/Vsftpd
Jun 29 14:08:55 <effem> do you have time for another Q?
Jun 29 14:09:07 <caplink811> nope, imho, it's ok, if the user have a look in the vsftpd.conf, to make sure, that all dirs and files are exist, and have the right permissions
Jun 29 14:09:35 <ByronT-Away> effem in this community those that ask for changes to the wiki, make those changes to the wiki
Jun 29 14:09:52 <caplink811> and for furhter information, the user shoud have a look at http://vsftpd.beasts.org/
Jun 29 14:10:12 <ByronT-Away> in other words, go ahead and make the changes that you feel should be made (everything gets reviewed...) ;)
Jun 29 14:10:31 <effem> yeah, I know but I am fairly new at this so I don't want to mess things up
Jun 29 14:10:33 <effem> will do
Jun 29 14:11:15 <effem> thanks
Jun 29 14:11:18 <caplink811> np
Jun 29 14:13:20 <effem> made the change in the wiki
Jun 29 14:13:42 <effem> I have another Q: is it possible to get a bootlog one way or another? 
Jun 29 14:13:52 <ByronT-Away> thank you for making the change
Jun 29 14:14:07 <effem> I know dmesg has the info I need, but in case a boot fails I'd like to know where it was when it failed 
Jun 29 14:14:50 <effem> ByronT-Away it is my pleasure to make the change, but as a newbe I do not know what is done and what not, so I'd rather stay on the safe side
Jun 29 14:14:59 <effem> that's why I asked first....
Jun 29 14:17:36 <caplink811> dmesg covers all system issues, if there are problems in application startup files, then you shoud enter some echo "bla" >/tmp/myfile statements in the ominous files
Jun 29 14:25:15 <caplink811> effem, for the logs, inetd is an daemon, which listen to the incoming requests for a specified protocol, and than it starts the relevant applikation, e.g. if there is a ftp client, which want to connect at port 21, in this moment, the ftp server  starts, so, you could see vsftpd with ps -ef, only if you try a connection with a ftp client
