| Does anyone knows what this error means ?
| Jul 31 22:26:59 servername ftpd[24133]: #2 open of pid file failed: No such
| file or directory
| It shows up in syslog every 5 minutes since the server was installed. The
| only thing that changes is PID (24133).
| There are thousands of lines with this error filling up 95% of syslog.
| How can I disable of logging of this error in future (or even better to
| disable cause of this error) ?
| System is SCO OpenServer 5.0.6

/usr/tmp/ftpd needs to exist, as explained in

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
