Part VII Monitoring Network Services Topics
The FTP server can be started in one of three ways:
As a standalone server run in the background
As a standalone server run in the foreground from the inittab file
A standalone server always has the quickest possible response time, and is intended for large servers that are dedicated to providing FTP service. The standalone server provides low connection latency for dedicated servers because the standalone system never has to be restarted. The standalone server is always running, even during off-peak hours, waiting indefinitely for connections.
By default, the SMF service is configured to start the FTP server using the nowait mode. If the site handles many connections, the FTP server can also be run in standalone mode. See the in.ftpd(1M) man page for information on additional command-line options.
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
The line reporting that wait=FALSE indicates that the server is started in nowait mode.
# inetadm -l network/ftp SCOPE NAME=VALUE name="ftp" endpoint_type="stream" proto="tcp6" isrpc=FALSE wait=FALSE exec="/usr/sbin/in.ftpd -a" user="root" default bind_addr="" default bind_fail_max=-1 default bind_fail_interval=-1 default max_con_rate=-1 default max_copies=-1 default con_rate_offline=-1 default failrate_cnt=40 default failrate_interval=60 default inherit_env=TRUE default tcp_trace=FALSE default tcp_wrappers=FALSE
# svcadm enable network/ftp
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
# svcadm disable network/ftp
# /usr/sbin/in.ftpd -a -S
Add the line to an FTP server startup script. See Using Run Control Scripts in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration for information on creating a system startup script.
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
# svcadm disable network/ftp
The new entry in /etc/inittab should look something like the following:
ftpd:3:respawn:/usr/sbin/in.ftpd -a -s
This command should start the FTP service.
# init q
