OK, heres a good show stopper.
two machines called a and b
ftp from a to b doesn't work ftp from b to a works
configuration for both machine is identical a==b
So although some HW may differ, all the relevant settings are identicle.
Problems I can handle, inconsistant errors and problems I get annoyed at.
Thanks

Hi David.
Redhat comes with wu-ftpd which is notoriously insecure and not particularly good. I'd recommend uninstalling it (rpm -e wu-ftpd) and installing proftpd which is much better and less of a security risk. Have got the tarball if you need it. We recently had one of our boxes hacked via a wu-ftpd "site" exploit and it meant a trip down to telehouse with disks in hand for a full rebuild of the machine. Not recommended!
FWIW.
Mark.

Can any one explain quickly how redhat configures its FTP server. I want to allow a user called ftpuser to ftp in but it wont let me. What do I need to edit?
Thanks
