[BlueOnyx:16350] Re: Pootle-Patchday Issues II : ProFTPd fixed (sort of)

[Dirk Estenfeld]

Michael,
Chris,

I have another hint to prevent the flappy behavior.
What we can see at systems which are flappy is

Oct 31 14:38:23 ww6 proftpd[12861]: warning: "ProFTPD" address/port (123.123.123.123:21) already in use by "ProFTPD server"

There is definitely no proftpd process running. It is definitely configures as inetd ServerType.

The solution is to change the Line

        server_args             = -4 -c /etc/proftpd.conf

to

        server_args             = -N -4 -c /etc/proftpd.conf

Then it should work more stable.

Best regards,
Dirk

Chris,

Yes I also saw that the fix was very flappy. 
But my experience is that after a server restart this problem is gone. 
I now checked this with 10 servers and it seems to be working.

1.) yum clean all ; yum update
2.) go tot he gui and uncheck -> Safe, recheck -> Safe your FTP settings
3.) reboot

If somebody used my quick fix yesterday than you also have to check if you have two server_args line in /etc/xinetd.d/proftpd 
If it is so remove your line and stay with Michaels new entry.

Best regards,
Dirk

Yes, I am seeing the same symptom on the servers that I had run the 
procedure on.   Unfortunately it works for a time, and then returns to a 
broken state.    I'll keep poking at it with a sharp stick to see if 
there is something else that comes up.
