Now you'll have to restart inetd. I have no idea how to do that in slackware other than killing the process and restarting it. If you aren't sure how to do that, just reboot
Then try "ftp localhost" again.
If this doesn't fix the problem, then you might want to look for clues in these files:
/etc/hosts.allow
/etc/hosts.deny
/etc/ftpaccess
I think there's also a configuration file for proftpd lurking around somewhere (/etc/proftpd.conf ??).
Well.... now for some reason, everytime I turn my nix box off, I have to reinitiate proftpd. Ive done it once, but the second time, nothing happend at all and I wasnt able to connect via ftp client on my windows box. I checked inetd.conf and proftpd.conf, and niether has been changed since got it working. what do i need to do?
