*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* George, If you don't mind me jumping in in the middle of this discussion, that list of FTP programs looks pretty normal to me. Pretty much matches (except for versions) my RH 9 system. If you are running VSFTPD under XINETD, the way I kill and restart it is via WebMin: go to Servers, Extended Internet Services, and you can stop and restart any service run via XINETD there. You could consult the documentation for XINETD to get the command line syntax for this function, which I do not remember off the top of my head. Regards, Bill Bowen Sacramento, CA P.S. I don't know if your experience with Fedora is the same or not, but VSFTPD seems to be much happier running under XINETD on my RH9 box than as a stand- alone (under XINETD was the default in RH8; changed to stand-alone in RH9 for I cannot remember what reason). From what I can gather by reading the docs available out there, even the developers of VSFTPD recommend running the program under XINETD.
