Accidentally deleted smbd and proftpd services

[negation]

Subject header says it all. I'm a complete Linux newbie and wanted to prevent Samba and the ProFTP services from running on startup.

Not knowing what I was doing, I removed "smbd" and "proftpd" from the /etc/init.d/ directory (I think that's the directory). How can I get these back?

By the way, I'm running Mandrake 10.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

You probably know by now that you should have issued an:

/etc/init.d/smbd stop

Right?

I'm not a rpm user but I imagine there's a way to reinstall from and rpm without overwriting your configuration files. Grab the samba-server and proftpd rpms and reinstall the apps.

You didn't delete the executables, you deleted the init scripts that call them. Here is a copy of /etc/rc.d/init.d/proftpd:

copy and paste both of these to your /etc/rc.d/init.d directory.

Careful negation, RhythmAce is assuming you have your binaries installed in the same place s/he does.

I think you're better off reinstalling your rpms while first, perhaps, backing up your conf files.

Ian

ps. if you do follow RhythmAce's advice, make sure your chmod +x the files you create or they aren't going to run.

I managed to get Samba working by performing an rpm -qa | grep samba command, deleting the rpms listed, and installing the Samba-common and Samba-server rpms.

One odd thing that I noticed is that the service is no longer called smbd, but smb3. It's no big deal, though. I'm just glad that it works.

Now, for proftpd, I couldn't find any already installed rpm packages. How do I go about removing it?

Another question: I downloaded the proftpd and wu-ftp tar.gz files and attempted to install them. Upon running ./configure, it complained about GCC not being installed. Where can I find that?

Thanks,

You'll need to install the compiler, probably from rpm.

This would be a good time to start using a package manager manager like apt-get or yum. I prefer yum. These will go out to repositories on the net, find the latest packages available, resolve any dependencies, download the required packages and install them for you. Saves a lot of headaches.

http://atrpms.physik.fu-berlin.de/install.html

is an excellent starting place.

In the future if you want to disable a startup service, use chkconfig. Basically 'chkconfig ftpd off' would turn off your ftp service. It works by manipulating symbolic links in other directories in the /etc heirarchy.

Learning how the computer boots is an excellent exercise to learn Unix as a whole.
