Hello, I've searched throughout the forums and could not find a solution to my problem. Also, i'm running this on vmware 6.5 workstation for testing purposes. I'm currently working on "The perfect Server - OpenSuSE 11.1" I'm currently stuck on step 12 Proftpd, specifically the stop which created the /etc/init.d/proftpd file. I cannot copy/paste the config file so I needed to type it out manually. I've checked it over 5 times and had the wife check it over as well, so I'm confident a typo is not the issue, however, you never know. I received an error after running the chkconfig --add proftpd command: insserv: script proftpd is broken: incomplete LSB comment. insserv: missing 'Required-start:' entry: please add even if empty insserv: missing 'Required-stop:' entry: please add even if empty insserv: script proftpd is broken: incomplete LSB comment. insserv: missing 'Required-start:' entry: please add even if empty insserv: missing 'Required-stop:' entry: please add even if empty insserv: script proftpd is broken: incomplete LSB comment. insserv: missing 'Required-start:' entry: please add even if empty insserv: missing 'Required-stop:' entry: please add even if empty insserv: script proftpd is broken: incomplete LSB comment. insserv: missing 'Required-start:' entry: please add even if empty insserv: missing 'Required-stop:' entry: please add even if empty insserv: script proftpd is broken: incomplete LSB comment. insserv: missing 'Required-start:' entry: please add even if empty insserv: missing 'Required-stop:' entry: please add even if empty proftpd 0-off 1-off 2-off 3-on 4-off 5-on 6-off I would love to copy/paste the config file I typed, but I still have yet to figure out how to do this through vmware as i'm in the CLI. Any suggestions would be fantastic, and greatly appreciated.
Falko, you are a god among mortals. Thank you very much. I installed PuTTY and it worked liked a charm. I deleted the /etc/init.d/proftpd file and created a new one, set the permissions and chkconfig and it worked like a charm. To be honest I'll continue to use PuTTY for all my configuration needs in the future. The copy/paste feature saves time an hassle. One a side note, writing the proftpd file by hand did give me a valuable insight on how it works, so no loss there. Thanks again!
