New Versions of FTPD

Virtual FTP Support
If you wish to manage an ftp server for two separate domains on the same machine, the
virtual ftp server feature can be used. This allows you to configure systems, so that a
user ftp’ing to ftp.domain1.com gets one ftp banner and ftp directory, and a user
ftp’ing to ftp.domain2.com gets another banner and directory even though they are on
the same machine and use the same ports.
NOTE Setting up a virtual ftp server requires IP address aliasing. This is supported in HP-UX
10.30 and later.
Secure Version of FTPD
new at 11i
original release
At 11i, a unified binary is available for the new version of FTPD that can operate as both
a Kerberos and non-Kerberos service.
To have the new FTPD operate in a secure environment, you enable the secure
environment with the following command:
/usr/sbin/inetsvcs_sec enable
This updates the system file /etc/inetsvcs.conf with an entry kerberos true. At
run-time, the services obtain the type of authentication mechanism to use.
/usr/bin/ftprestart Removes the shutdown message file created by the
ftpshut utility.
