Very Computer

        I recently installed the secure version of the wu.ftpd binary, and
in the documentation that I was reading, it said to execute the command
ftpshut to shutdown the server. Well, I have done that and installed the
software - however all incoming ftp requests now say

bash# ftp surfergod
Connected to surfergod.glenn.latrobe.edu.au.
500 surfergod FTP server shut down -- please try again later.
ftp>

        How do I get the server back up again, or is there a problem somewhere
in the configuration files.. The program ckconfig that comes with the
distribution says that everything is fine... Does anyone have any ideas
at all ?

                                                Thanks! Marcus

Try deleting /etc/shutmsg, I don't know if this is the correct way but it
works for me and doesn't seem to have any * side effects.

        Bye Paul,

Unless the shutdown file is specified differently in /etc/ftpaccess

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Ian.
