Summary: ftp with solaris 9

[Robert Loh]

Thanks for the overwhelming responses, summarized as below

How to enable root ftp to solaris 9 server ?
#vi /etc/services		- uncomment
-> ftp 21/tcp
#vi /etc/inetd.conf	- uncomment
-> ftp stream tcp nowail root /usr/sbin/in.ftpd	in.ftpd
# vi /etc/ftpd/ftpuser	- to uncomment "root" out
-> # root		
#vi /etc/shells		- put in all the shell as possible
-> /usr/sbin/ksh
#vi /etc/default/login	- to uncomment
-> CONSOLE=/dev/console
check ftp.allow and ftp.deny files as well
#kill -HUP <inetd>pid	- to restart #/usr/sbin/inetd -s

A lot of responses suggested using more secure ftp like
proftp/ssh/scp/sftp or normal user to ftp in then #sudo - root

cheers...
Robert
