I am a newb and I downloaded the latest release of pureftpd and ran: ./configure make make install What the hell am I doing wrong? Sould I run into ANY Error messages during the install? I installed from the home/sbin/ pure-ftpd-1.0.17a/ directory from the konsole. I typed cd /home/sbin/pure-ftpd & and I got a status of: [1] 15xxx [1] Exit 127 pure-ftpd I dont remember the last 3 numbers after the 15 (I didnt write them down). I figured I did something wrong and following the instructions from the documentation on pure-ftpds website I did an immediate: ./configure make uninstall I looked through the documentation and installed it again: ./configure make install I got errors in the log. I tried to start the server again and I got this: [1] 21943 [1] Exit 127 pure-ftpd I went to 'find files' and searched for pure-ftpd and I got the src and something called pam in a subdirectory. I know I dont know much about linux. I downloaded some documentation and I will read and figure it out myself but any suggestions are appreciated. What did I do wrong?

According to www.suse.com it IS included in the retail version of SuSE 9.0 Pro !!! - Start up YAST2 (Where we configure everything) - Go to the "wizard" which let you install packages (it probably is somewhere in the software submenu called install packages) - Select pureftdp to install, I assume it is waiting somewhere between other useful netwerk related stuf which can be installed.

By the way, installing with the system packages management tool will allow the package to be updated for (security) flaws/bugs during your normal system update. If installed from source, normally you have to check for updates yourself.
