Bug Description
Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10
On install itox fails as follows:
Setting up proftpd-basic (1.3.2-3) ...
--------- IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR XINETD USERS ----------
The following line will be added to your /etc/inetd.conf file:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/proftpd
If you are indeed using xinetd, you will have to convert the
above into /etc/xinetd.conf format, and add it manually. See
/usr/share/
Suggested entry (automatically converted using itox):
service ftp
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
You must use option -daemon_dir if you use tcpd
-------
Adding system user `proftpd' (UID 116) ...
Adding new user `proftpd' (UID 116) with group `nogroup' ...
[cut]
Fix that I did instead to generate correct xinetd.d file by including -daemon_dir /usr/sbin:
echo "ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/proftpd" | itox -daemon_dir /usr/sbin
