xinetd problems with glftpd(shuts me down)

I can't get glftpd to work..

This I've done:
-I've added 'GLFTPD: ALL' in /etc/hosts.allow
-I've added the ip to the user
-I've tried to add valid_ip in the glftpd.conf

I'm using tcpd, xinetd and tls connections.

When I do a 'ncftp -P 9999 -u glftpd localhost' (without valid_ip) I can connect to the site, but when I do a 'ncftp -P 9999 -u glftpd 192.168.123.70' (which is the ip of wlan on the machine), I get Remote connection closed.

I go to the /var/log/messages and see that:
Jun 6 00:14:03 gentoo xinetd[6360]: START: glftpd pid=6378 from=192.168.123.70
Jun 6 00:14:03 gentoo xinetd[6378]: FAIL: glftpd address from=192.168.123.70
(this even happens with the 'valid_ip 192.168.123.70' in the glftpd.conf, and then it doesn't allow 127.0.0.1 or localhost connections)

xinetd shuts me down! Instead of sending me to glftpd, like the connection to localhost does(without valid_ip in glftpd.conf):
Jun 6 00:11:25 gentoo xinetd[6360]: START: glftpd pid=6375 from=127.0.0.1
Jun 6 00:11:25 gentoo glftpd[6375]: connect from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
Jun 6 00:11:25 gentoo glftpd:localhost: connected: connection from localhost at Fri Jun 6 00:11:25 2003

Any ideas on this subject?

and by the way:

gentoo bin # netstat -nap | grep 9999
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9999 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 6360/xinetd

it's only listening on 0.0.0.0.0

Eggdrop and psyBNC's listen on 192.168.123.70:<port> also

I fixed my problems.. the problem lies in xinetd.. the xinetd.conf file had a "listen_on" or "only_on = localhost", remove it, adn your good to go

Hey!

This is no error! ftp doesn't support TLS!

emerge ncftp

will do the trick, and remember to use ncftp instead of ftp

If you're still getting errors after that, make sure you have made the key, and make sure glftpd knows where the key is!

Hope this helps you out, lemme know!

Hmm.. if it times out, maybe you have a firewall somewhere, a router? Make sure you open and set passive ports in conf.

Winsslwrap for flashfxp? FlashFXP doesn't need anything, it supports tls already.. mine does! Just make sure you enable it in the settings for the site.

Anyway, this didn't happend to me, it didn't time out or stopped.. can't help you more then this, sorry.
