I'm looking for a easy HPUX config/user setup guide for ProFTPD

[Paul F. Bennett]

I have installed ProFTPD on my hpux 11i box but I'm having a tough time finding a quick and easy admin guide to setup and config the product. Where can I find such a guide?

Shalom,

You may need to use this Linux guide, but the product is supposed to work the same on all platforms.

http://kb.linuxnetworkcare.com/node/8

This mentions hpux and may tell how to make it work with trusted systems

http://hacking.pl/pl/news-1948-ProFTPD_128rc1.html

I'm not sure I'd call either of them easy.

Use "User Guide" - http://www.proftpd.org/localsite/Userguide/linked/userguide.html

and example configs - http://www.proftpd.org/docs/example-conf.html

from proftpd site.

Hello,

Here is one real-life example for a large telco I did recently (I just changed login names and directories to protect the customer):

You can now even use SSL extensions via ProFTPD...
