Thought I would toss this question to you folks as a last resort (seeing as it''s completely unrelated to game development), before I go and do something drastic I get the following when launching ftp as root: 421 Cannot getsockname( STDIN ), errno=88 I haven''t been able to find anything concrete on how to deal with this error. It''s Redhat 7.3, google.com tells me nothing, Redhat''s site has no documentation on this, linux.org as well. I''m basically at the end of my rope for this one. Help is appreciated! MatrixCubed

Edit your /etc/proftpd.conf file so that it knows its running standalone, rather than from inetd.

right now it thinks inetd is running it, and you''re running it standalone.
