ftpd seems broken on hrev53242

[nephele]

on hrev53242 the ftpd daemon seams broken,

running it with ftp -d yields this in the syslog: FTP 'ftpd'[2638]: getpeername (ftpd): Socket operation on non-socket

While I can reproduce this in hrev53523, ftpd works just fine when launched via the Network preferences.

Can confirm ftpd is working fine. The error from what I can tell is not a bug. That is just what happens when you start from the console (assuming I am interpreting these links correctly). They are for telnetd but I think its the same thing.

Yes, it was only the output in the syslog that was related, i didn't mention it as a cause.
In any case, I cannot get ftpd to stay up if using it from the commandline . and strangely enough with ftpd OFF in network preferences after having it turned on I can get a local session still, but can't manage to login. Perhaps the ftpd never terminates and the command exiting is just it avoiding duplicate instances?

ftp is normally started on other operating systems with something like: /etc/init.d/ftpd start OR service ftpd start

Just issuing 'ftpd' on haiku does not actually start it (same for some other utils under bin). I don't know what the equivalent command would be.
