    First off, thanks for the walk-through. I am new to Red Hat, so some things
    are still on my "to learn" list. I am technical support for an app that
    runs on Linux and sometimes I get OS questions that I can't answer.

    Theat being said, I went through the items that you detailed and I got
    stopped at netstat. Obviously, there isn't an ftp process running. I ran
    chkconfig and nothing showed up.

    I did get a list in the rpm step. It included the following:

    gftp-2.0.8-2
    ncftp-3.0.3-6
    ftp-0.17-12.1.1

    Do any of these entries mean anything? I ran the same thing on my Linux
    server and got a great deal more, including all the ones listed above.
