Hi Folks,

In the midst of all that funky Samba stuff, I've a question about good
old plain ftp. Has anybody run that via inetd yet? If so, how ? It seems
a waste to have a separate monitor job running (FTPMON) next to inetd.
I've tried

/SYS/NET/SERVICES:
        ftp             21/tcp

/SYS/NET/INETDCNF:
        ftp          stream tcp nowait MANAGER.SYS /SYS/ARPA/FTPSRVR ftpsrvr

After streaming the inetd job, I try a connection from a HPUX host. IT fails with

    Connected to pharao.nl.compuware.com.
    421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

Looking in the inetd spoolfile:

 ...
 ftp(tcp nowait MANAGER.SYS port: 21)
 ftp/tcp: Added service, server /SYS/ARPA/FTPSRVR
 ...

 Configuration complete
 Received call for: ftp tcp
 SOFTWARE ABORT   (FSERR 32)
 FILE OPEN ERROR (PASCERR 692)
 FILE IS 'INPUT'
 ABORT: FTPSRVR.ARPA.SYS
 NM SYS   a.00a82288 dbg_abort_trace+$24
 NM PUB   151.003c7a34 P__PASCFERROR+$3e0
 NM PROG  651.0001916c _start+$b4

 Anybody got a clue ?
 Thanks !
