While trying to download and upload files via FTP, I was getting
Oct 11 15:19:39 209443-www2 xinetd[12269]: EXIT: smtp status=1 pid=8309 duration=0(sec) Oct 11 15:19:39 209443-www2 xinetd[12269]: FAIL: ftp per_source_limit from=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
In order to fix this I had to modify the /etc/xinet.d/ftp_psa file. I did so by adding the bold lines to the file:
service ftp { disable = no socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root instances = UNLIMITED per_source = UNLIMITED server = /usr/sbin/in.proftpd server_args = -c /etc/proftpd.conf }
After saving the file, restart xinetd:
# /sbin/service xinetd restart
