I don't have it on my Mandrake 9.0 so why
would you want to install on your system,
anyway??? What do you plan to do with it?
I just checked on a Debian and there is so
such thing as /etc/initd.conf...

By the way, there is a copy of /etc/xinetd.d/proftpd-xinetd
that comes with Mandrake 9.0 (or at least it
is on my Mandrake 9.0). In there, make sure
the "disable = no". If you have that file,
then try to see if you can ftp to your box or
not!!!

Go ahead and edit that menu, FTPD Editor, if
you want to run KWuFTPD. Just pick whoever
you want to access your box... It looks
self explanatory to me!

Well, I don't use wuftpd so can't help you
with that. However, I have proftpd running
on RedHat Linux 8.0 in my office. If you are
thinking about running proftpd (which by the
way is more secure than wuftpd!), then I may
be able to help you or just check out
www.proftpd.org. E-mail me if you want me
to send you /etc/proftpd.conf and /etc/xinetd.d/proftpd. By the way, if you
download a source file and build it for your
system, it will automatically install those
two files on your system for you!!!

I just got proftpd working in Mandrake 9. Note that when I first installed mandrake, I did not install the ftp server. When I later wanted to add it, here were the steps I took (as root).
# urpmi proftpd (this installs the packages)
# edit /etc/xinetd.d/proftpd.xinetd. There will be two lines that say "disabled = yes". Remove one of them, and change the other to "no".
Then edit /etc/proftpd.conf and change ServerType from standalone to inetd (not xinetd).
Then do:
# /etc/init.d/xinetd reload

Test with "ftp 0" which connects to localhost. You may also need to edit hosts.allow to allow connections from other hosts.
