Thank you very very much Alan. Ok I will take down my LAN Friday night and rebuild the machine and be there at 10:00 Sat morning.  Concerning the vsftpd, the redhat Bible gave me the vsftpd.conf info I needed, however, I wanted to set vsftpd to come up on boot and I did a ln -s ../init.d/vsftpd S90vsftpd to create a sybolic link in rc5.d with the skeleton script in init.d that looks like this:


#! /bin/bash
#
# $Id: skeleton,v 1.8 1999/07/19 14:36:10 ray Exp ray $
#
### BEGIN INIT INFO

  rm -f $SVIlock

  echo "Reloading $SVIsubsys configuration files: "
  ssd -K --signal 1 -q -p /var/run/$NAME.pid -n $NAME
  ret=$?
  echo "done."
  ;;
## Alternative #2:
# force-reload)





On boot I'm getting a syntax error, with an entry in /ver/log/messages of:

vsftpd:  /etc/rc5.d/S90vsftpd: line 65: syntax error: unexpected end of file

I'm not a great bash script kitty, so a little help here would be nice. I copied this script and I must have left something out, but I don't see it.  Do you?
And a second question: Am I going about this the right way to get it to not only boot but shutdown cleanly?

Steve
