Operating Systems > Linux and UNIX

I am really fucking frustrated

Paladin9:
I was making changes to the conf file and then typing proftpd restart so the changes would take effect but they wouldnt(and yes I was saving the conf file each time).  The only way I could get the changes to take effect was to restart the whole computer.  After a while it stopped working all together.  Since I am only experimenting right now, I reinstalled slackware and now I just want to use what comes with the computer.  Are the ftp users the same as the linux users of the system?

flap:
To make the config changes take effect you need to send a SIGHUP signal to the proftpd process, whose id is in /var/run/proftpd.pid. Just type
kill -SIGHUP `cat /var/run/proftpd.pid`
whenever you make any config changes.

Just double-check that file proftpd.pid is in that directory; I don't know if it will necessarily be the same one on your system.

Yes, ftp users are just regular users.

I also tried "jailing" users just to their home directories.  After a reboot, this worked, but after another reboot the users were no longer jailed to their home directories.  I did not change that setting.  Can you explain this for me? What could I have done wrong?

Doogee:
i found proftpd really good and very easy to use :S

flap:
If you definitely didn't change that setting I have no idea why it would have changed.
