--=======AVGMAIL-422B0F82206A======= Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" Hi Pat, I wrote this to startup vsftpd. It is not the prettiest script and I am sure there is a way to do it better but it will give you a start. Place it in your /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory and make it executable. #!/bin/sh echo -n 'vsftpd' case "$1" in start) echo "Starting vsftpd ..." /usr/local/sbin/vsftpd & ;; stop) echo "Stopping vsftpd ..." killall vsftpd ;; *) echo "Usage: 'basename $0' {start|stop}" >&2 exit 64 ;; esac exit 0 Hope that helps.

A friend of mine told me that it's more secure to do it standalone, and apparently that's the recommended method now. Somewhat, yes. A lot of people don't trust inetd at all, and most of its advantages can be overcome by just buying a little more memory. If that's the case, how do I go about getting vsftpd to run when the machine boots up? It doesn't look like there's a vsftpd_enable that I can use, like I can with other services. No, looks like you'll have to write your own startup script. No big deal -- just look at "man rc".
