I've been trying to set up vsftpd on my linux machine (fedora 2) all weekend now.

I ended up trying to uninstall it and remove any traces i could find of it. Who knows if I did. I'm not that good with linux.

Anyway, I downloaded a vsftpd rpm (version 2.0.3) and installed that. When I try to test vsftpd...

The server seems to start okay...

# /usr/sbin/vsftpd &

'
didn't yield any error messages

next I try to login in...

# ftp localhost

'
and I get this...

Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1).
/usr/sbin/vsftpd: relocation error: /usr/sbin/vsftpd: symbol __snprintf_chk, version GLIBC_2.3.4 not defined in file lib.so.6 with link time reference
Name (localhost:root):
500 OOPS: child died
Login failed.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
ftp>

what is going on? I just want my ftp working.

okay... I updated glibc and the problem went away.

Another question. I have vsftpd running in standalone mode. Every time I tried to get it working as xinetd, something went wrong, so I'm not going down that road.

Anyway, how do I make it so that vsftpd starts up when the computer starts up? I know I need a script and have to put it in one of the rc folders, but not sure of the exact steps... googling didn't help either. Thanks.

Welp, got it starting at startup. Used the Services gui. Man, I tell you, you'll sit there for hours going in circles, but as soon as you ask the question, you fix the issue.
