    Hi, I am trying to use vsftpd 3.0.2-1 on AIX 7100-03, and cannot make it work via inetd.

    I have there: 

    ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /opt/freeware/sbin/vsftpd       vsftpd

    listen=YES in /etc/vsftpd.conf is commented out.

    It works without inetd, only when trying to run it via inetd I get:

    500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv4 socket

    Any idea what is wrong?

    So it looks like vsftpd is trying to bind the ftp port, but inetd has already done that. Do you have listen set to YES in vsftpd.conf? You need it to be NO to run under inetd.

    That was it. I had

    #listen=YES

    there, but obviously explicit

    listen=NO

    is needed. It works now, thanks!
