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
# Provides: <boot facility 1> [<boot facility 2> ...]
# Required-Start: <boot facility 1> [<boot facility 2> ...]
# Required-Stop: <boot facility 1> [<boot facility 2> ...]
# Default-Start: <run level 1> [<run level 2> ...]
# Default-Stop: <run level 1> [<run level 2> ...]
# Description: skeleton
# example file to build /etc/rc.d/init.d/ scripts.

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
