ftp error log

Amerley Doku — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 09:46:03 GMT

Hi Gurus,

Pls I need some help. One of our HP_UX servers is giving the following errors in syslog:
Jan 25 05:07:28 ux_db02 ftpd[22624]: FTP session closed
Jan 25 05:10:10 ux_db02 ftpd[22946]: FTP session closed
Jan 25 05:12:54 ux_db02 ftpd[23267]: FTP session closed.

Thanks
AD

These messages are normal reports that a FTP user has closed his/her session, not errors.

To identify the sessions, search the syslog for previous messages with the same "ftpd[]" prefix.

Have a look at the following thread:

Also confirm that your macro is not connecting/disconnecting multiple times.

whats the ftp version on the server? Try installing a different version which is working fine on other servers if the above recommendations doesn't help.

Thanks. I have checked the /etc/inetd.conf file. I have got the correct entry is /etc/inetd.conf

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -l

This problem I posted earlier has just been started 2 days ago.

Amerley,

Why do you feel that the above message is an error ? It is simply an informational message that the FTP session has ended.

Maybe some more background ? else, if it ain't broke don't waste time trying to fix it.
