Hi all,

Thanks in advance for any posts and for reading...

We are running in the process of going live on an Oracle RAC cluster using linux redhat ent 3. Anyhow I need to push out an install for Vertias Netbackup. The normal push doesn't seem to work, but those nice people at veritas have written a nice script to FTP all the relevant files to the box. The problem is that I need to be able to FTP out.

Anyone got any ideas for getting round this?

Thanks again in advance for any posts and for reading..

Managed to answer my own question on this one. Appologies in advance.

Just stoped it, and copied an vsftpd.conf file (/etc/vsftpd) from another box that worked. That seemed to sort things out.

Thanks again all,
