FTP problems

[Ali Imran Abbas]

I have migrated a development server from the old machine to a new machine. After the new machine is setup, its ftp is not working for remote clients. Users inside here in the premises can still do ftp but remote users are not able to do that. I think the problem is in inetd.sec file.
How that problem can be solved. Do I just copy the old inetd.sec file from the old server to the new one or I need to do some thing else?
Can some one please tell me the step by step proceedure to perform this task. Like what services need to be started and what services need to be stopped before copying the file.

what do you have in "inetd.sec" now?

lots of addresses for different clients. Actually i have installed it from the image of a diffenet machine because the previous machine doesnt have the tape drive. So it took all the settings from the previous machine.
My question is that if I replace the current inetd.sec with the old inetd.sec, do I need to restart the inetd?

So, what's different?

I know nothing (including your HP-UX version),
but if "man inetd" tells you to do a "kill
-HUP" ("inetd -c") when you change
"/etc/inetd.conf", then I'd assume that you'd
need to do it if you changed "inetd.sec".
This should be a bit less disruptive than
actually stopping and restarting inetd.
