Lines: 31 Message-ID: <437q14$781@opal.southwind.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: onyx.southwind.net X-Newsreader: NN version 6.5.0 #4 (NOV) After upgrading to 2.0.1 I converted our anon ftp archive from regular to fancy (changed -A flag to -a, using ftpaccess). What I get when I make an anonymous connection is: 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection Set the flag back to -A and it works fine. Set it up on another system using config_anonftp. Using the same ftpaccess file except for paths. Works fine. Compared both /etc's and /bin's. Didn't see any reason for it not to work, but-- what the heck-- I tarred up the good one and dropped it on top of the bad one. No good. Compared everything I could think of, even moved the broken ftp home dir and set up a new one in it's place. Notta. Basically, I can get anything to work *except* the one I want working. No biggie, 'cause I'll move the old, create a new, and move all the archived files from the old to the new. But what in the wide, wide world of sports is going on here? Oh, and is it just me or does config_anonftp create an archive that's just a little too open? -- Jeff Stehman Senior Systems Administrator stehman@southwind.net SouthWind Internet Access, Inc. voice: (316)263-7963 Wichita, KS URL for Wichita Area Chamber of Commerce: http://www.southwind.net/ict
