ftp: machine cannot be reached via ftp after an update

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 5.2

Symptom:

You'va updated your system to S.u.S.E. Linux 5.2 . However after the update it is impossible to access the machine via ftp. You get an error message like

421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

Cause:

Since S.u.S.E. Linux 5.2 wu-ftpd is used as the standard ftp-server. It is started automatically when the machine is accessed via ftp over the network. However "wuftpd" isn't installed automatically during an update although the corresponding command gets inserted into /etc/inetd.conf.

Please note that after the update root is informed about this fact via e-mail.

Solution:

There are two possible solutions :

Please note :

It is recommended to change to wu.ftpq even with older versions (>= 5.0) of S.u.S.E. Linux
