It depends on the config. You can check /etc/issue /etc/motd

But I am willing to bet in the config it speficies a banner

Put

ServerIdent Off "Your Blurb"

<edit>
in /etc/proftpd.conf
</edit>

And then..

do remember to find all proftpd processes by

ps auxwww | grep proftpd

and send a

kill -HUP pid#

and then restart proftpd

Actually I had to put ServerIdent On "Your Blurb" to hide my server name.

Actually you don't have to restart proftpd for it to see the new changes

dandan,

On is right...! :) I never can get syntax right!

And Rich2K, I changed the hostname in one Linux server with Ident Off and could not get proftpd to say the new host name until I killed the pid#'s and restarted

Anyhoo.. as long as the issue is settled!

Thanks Motleyfool. That was actually something I was trying to figure out how to do today. I wasn't sure where to look.


You da man!

Very strange, because when I edited my conf file it worked just on next login... very strange!
