Hi.
I am using RedHat 9 and vsftpd worked fine before.
After some files were touched, I can not use vsftpd.
It gave an error "connect attempt failed", even though I can login with
the same user account with the SSH.
I uninstalled vsftpd, and reinstall the rpm, but it doesn't help.
I have nothing in either hosts.deny or hosts.allow.
What is the possible reason?
Thank you for your help in advance.

Well, why do you not put something into both.
ALL:ALL
into /etc/hosts.deny
and
vsftpd:ALL
into /etc/hosts.allow.

Also look to see if vsftpd is running and if not whether it is activated in
/etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd
