glftpd installation on linux

[dizyn]

I want to install glFTPd on Linux (RedHat 9)

As i am new to this forums same way i am new to linux. Here are some requirements.

"You need the following to successfully install and use glftpd"

- root password (is ok)

- System V ipc support in kernel (shared memory)
(what is System V ipc and how it works, how can i get its support?)

- Disk drive with UNIX-like file system (like ext2/ext3 in linux)
what does this mean, file system is ok, its ext2

Thanks.

Google turned up this page (http://www.dwheeler.com/secure-programs/Secure-Programs-HOWTO/sysv-ipc.html) as far as System V IPC goes. It looks like Linux has that covered as well.

If you're using ext2 you should be fine on the filesystem too. I'm guessing UNIX-like simply means a filesystem with proper permissions (i.e. not FAT32).
