vsftpd missing /etc/init.d entry

[DSwain]

Yeah, as crazy as it is (or I think it is), my install of vsftpd is missing an /etc/init.d entry. I found the executable to be in /usr/sbin/vsftpd and it works when I run it after boot, but I'd like to be able to start it on bootup. Is there an easy way to write a script for it, or can somebody give me a copy of there own to run it? Thanks for any help.

BTW, I installed it w/YAST in SuSE 9.1 if it makes any difference. Maybe it's intended not to run on startup?

[techwise]

make script:
"
#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/vsftpd
"

set the x bit

place it in init.d

then :"update-rc.d NAMEOFSCRIPT defaults 99"

try it out.

Thanks for the idea, but I realized the mistake I made was that I needed to be running xinetd on SuSE. Pretty silly of me. :rolleyes: I'm so new to this Linux-Administering process. I've got it all functioning now though, thanks.
