Ok AIXers, in keeping with a promise to only post creative issues for discussion I have an odd ftp problem.
36182 67394 0 17:19:03 pts/0 0:00 grep ftp
root 43958 1 0 Jul 22 - 0:00 /usr/sbin/tftpd -n
nobody 86926 43958 0 Jul 22 - 0:00 /usr/sbin/tftpd -n
$ ls -al /usr/bin/ftp
-r-sr-xr-x 1 bin bin 236194 Feb 27 2001 /usr/bin/ftp
$
I attempt to start the ftp service via SMIT. I get the "ok" and no error messages.
If I view it via SMIT it shows as inoperative.
/etc/ftpusers is empty
There is no comment in /etc/inetd.conf
I attempt to ftp and the command just does nothing and I get the normal shell prompt again.
I can ftp into the machine in question and telnet works just fine.
Ideas?
I am new to AIX but not unix in general…
