Hi,

In /etc/xinetd.d/proftpd I have this:

service ftp
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
instances = 30
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/proftpd
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST RECORD
disable = no
}

When starting xinetd i get this error in /var/log/daemon.log:
Dec 10 19:12:28 acoon xinetd[17523]: Reading included configuration
file: /etc/xinetd.d/proftpd [file=/etc/xinetd.d/proftpd] [line=15]

Dec 10 19:12:28 acoon xinetd[17523]: Error parsing attribute

What could be wrong?

I'm just guessing, but it might be the "RECORD" part of the line in
your configuration above. Have you considered removing it at all?

If I remove that line, it works.
But what does that line mean?

It must be there for a reason.
