Email And FTP Problems

[weales]

Long story short: someone did a "gzip -r" to my /etc directory and gz a lot of files. After "gzip -d" all the gz files, i got everything working except for ftp, email and now spam *** took a dump.

I KNOW the problem is within the /etc directory but I'm not sure what's causing this. in /etc/xinit.d are the files within there to be chmod 644? Any help would be apprecaited.

reviewed the link and my settings in the /etc/xinitd directory were set to this.

Figured out the problem.

For those who have a problem with FTP or EMAIL not working, make sure XINETD is running.

In my case xinetd.conf got renamed to xinetd and that was causing my problems.
