HP-UX Remote Access Services Administrator's Guide

NOTE: You can obtain the default ftp configuration files from the
/usr/newconfig/etc/ftpd/examples directory.
Enabling or Disabling the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess File
The following specifies how to enable or disable the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file:
• To enable the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file, specify the -a option for the ftp
entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file. For example:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -a -l -d
• To disable the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file, specify the -A option for the ftp
entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file. For example:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -A -l -d
Otherwise, you can disable the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file by not specifying
any option for the ftp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file.
NOTE: Every time you change the /etc/inetd.conf file, you must recompile the
/etc/inetd.conf file by using the command inetd -c.
By default, the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file is disabled in the /etc/inetd.conf
file.
