I'm trying to setup a banner message for incoming FTP connection for Solaris 10 server. It does not work the way I set Solaris 9 servers. File /et/ftpd/ftpaccess has entry:
banner=/etc/ftpd/banner.msg
I modified inetd.conf file:
ftpstreamtcp6nowaitroot/usr/sbin/in.ftpdin.ftpd -a -l
Restarted inetd. Message does not appear.
Please help.
You did not mention running inetconv to convert the inetd.conf entry for smf. Is this an IPV6 specific question, since you added an IPV6 and not an IPV4 entry to your inetd.conf file?
Otherwise, in IPV4, the banner works for me:
# cat > /etc/ftpd/banner.msg
howdydoody
# svcadm enable ftp
5 ftpd# ftp localhost
Connected to localhost.

Does in.ftpd start when you connect?:
# ps -ef | grep ftp
....

root 26177 261440 13:54:43 pts/60:00 ftp localhost
Try setting the following in /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess
banner /etc/ftpd/banner.msg

chown root:root /etc/ftpd/banner.msg
chmod 644/etc/ftpd/banner.msg
svccfg
svc:> select svc:/network/ftp
svc:/network/ftp> listprop inetd_start/exec
check the output...
svc:/network/ftp> setprop inetd_start/exec = "/usr/sbin/in.ftpd -a"
quit
svcadm restart svc:/network/ftp
