[lug] wu-ftpd settings problem - xinetd settings ?

[Chuck Morrison]

OK, I found the solution on the web. Apparently I had to remove all
references to USERID in the /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd file. It appears to make
no difference if the -I is in there or not. Oddly, this appears to be a
RH7.x issue only.

Many thanks for the help.
