Bug Description
Binary package hint: wu-ftpd
I just installed wu-ftpd, and had trouble getting it started. Turns out that the problem was this:
The /etc/init.d/wu-ftpd script first checks in /etc/inetd.conf if wu-ftpd is in there. (On my system, it is. I didn't put it there, so I assume it was added when I installed wu-ftpd.) If so, it does nothing. Which seems reasonable, except that I don't have inetd installed. As a result, wu-ftpd is never started.
Work-around: remove the "ftp" line from /etc/inetd.conf, and the init.d script should work correctly.
Permanent fix: in /etc/init.
if [ -f /etc/inetd.conf ] && egrep '^ftp[[
to this:
if [ -f /etc/inetd.conf ] && [ -n `which inetd` ] && egrep '^ftp[[
