[BlueOnyx:16644] Re: Yum update? FTP not accepting connections - 5106R

[Eiji Hamano]

Hi Colin

Yes, I did yum today, same problem came.
It looks same as [BlueOnyx:10727]. It was fixed in my case.
Modify /etc/xinetd.d/proftpd as follow,
    su
    vi    /etc/xinetd.d/proftpd
       insert    line:  server_args             = --nocollision
       after the line:  server                  = /usr/sbin/in.proftpd
    /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd   restart

The /etc/xinetd.d/proftpd must be as below ;
service ftp
{
         socket_type             = stream
         flags                   = REUSE
         wait                    = no
         user                    = root
         server                  = /usr/sbin/in.proftpd
         server_args             = --nocollision
         server_args             = -c /etc/proftpd.conf
         log_on_success          += DURATION
         log_on_failure          += USERID
         nice                    = 10
         disable                 = no
         instances = 80
}
service ftps
{
....
}
