HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Routine Management Tasks

If no option is provided to mount, it will use the state of the file system itself to

determine if it is mounted as largefiles or nolargefiles.

NOTE: Changing VxFS file systems between largefiles and nolargefiles

updates the mount attributes online (in the file /etc/mnttab). It does not update the

file /etc/fstab. If you explicitly specify largefiles or nolargefiles in an fstab

entry and the current attributes of the file system do not match, future mounts may

fail. If that occurs, you will need to change the entry in fstab to match so the mount

will succeed.

Managing FTP

There are five files used to hold FTP configuration information. These files are listed

in Table 3-1. The /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess configuration file is the primary

configuration file for defining how the ftpd daemon operates. It is not necessary to

enable the ftpaccess file in order to run ftpd.

The configuration files allow you to configure FTP features, such as the number of FTP

transfers, access permissions, use of regular expressions, etc. For complete details on

these files, see the ftpaccess(4), ftpgroups(4), ftpusers(4), ftphosts(4), and ftpconversion(4)

manpages.

If the ftpaccess file is enabled:

• Settings in the ftpaccess file override any similar settings in the other files.

• Any settings in the other files that are not present in ftpaccess are treated as

supplemental or additional configuration information.

If the ftpaccess file is disabled:

• The settings in the ftpusers, ftphosts, and ftpconversion files will be used.

• The ftpgroupsfile will not be used.

Enabling/Disabling the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess Configuration File

• To enable the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file, specify the -a option for the ftp

entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file. For example,

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -a -l -d
