can't be....you went 2 days before looking again.

once the changes you made in inetd.conf are made in the correct place, you should only need to "inetd -c"

ok...one last try here. assuming the "other server" is the 10.10.10.89 mentioned in the examples above, then you edited /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess on that "other server" correct? If not, thats where the change needs to be made...on the "other server"

....uh...no...isn't it supposed to be:

banner /etc/issue

"as noted previously by Ganesan R". go back and look at the man page for ftpaccess, it will tell you which is correct.

the changes in inetd.conf need to be made on the "other server" as well. the "inetd -c" should be all that's needed once the above is done.

there is no indication that you did anything but change the local machine. the changes noted need to be made on the server you are using ftp to connect to......
