If you spend enough time here, someone will
probably tell you almost anything.

> /usr/lbin/ftpd not found

If you decide that that's important:

http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-6460/apcs02.html
http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-4165/apds02.html

Everything I have found suggests that
HP FTP Server HPUX-FTPServer
is "installed or updated by default". You
seem to be missing some or all of it.

> [...] i got a new hpux box with 11.31 [...]

Who installed the OS? Perhaps _you_ should
do it.

>Steven: Everything I have found suggests that HPUX-FTPServer

Yes, this product contains ftpd:
HPUX-FTPServer.FTP.FTP-RUN: /usr/lbin/ftpd

For 11.23 it was:
InternetSrvcs.INETSVCS2-RUN: /usr/lbin/ftpd

Let's take a survey. How many people think
that this really doesn't matter:

/usr/lbin/ftpd not found

and that tweaking some configuration file
will actually help?


Buy a clue somewhere.


(Of course, I'd also expect some informative
complaints to appear in the system log file,
and we haven't been shown anything from
there.)
