proftpd seems not be running anymore, if Itry /etc/init.d/proftpd start I get the following error:

Code:

root@hxxxx:~# /etc/init.d/proftpd start
Starting ProFTPD ftp daemon:  - getaddrinfo 'hxxxx' error: Name or service not known
 - warning: unable to determine IP address of 'hxxxx'
 - getaddrinfo 'hxxxx' error: Name or service not known
 - warning: unable to determine IP address of 'hxxxx'
proftpd.
root@hxxxx:~#

Also thereis a logentry

Code:

Sep 20 22:44:44 h5810 proftpd[3533]: socket() failed in connection initialization: Address family not supported by protocol

I knowtheabove problems come from me wanting to rename my machine, at least correct my machines name, but where is proftpd looking? I mean I already havea post explaining that hxxxx.serverkompetenz.net is my hostname and my domain, I can't just simply split it into host:hxxxx and domain:serverkompetenz.net thats not working...

But if I enter hxxxx.serverkompetenz.netfor host and domain sometimes the mailsystem tries to do it like this: hxxxx.serverkompetenz.net.hxxxx.serverkompetenz.ne t and that will not work.

I tried a grep -i -R 'hxxxx' /etc

Code:

sorry I tried to edit, instead clicked on quote ;-(

I found that /etc/hostname was still hxxxx => changed to hxxxx.serverkompetenz.net did the trick : all is fine now, except for this log excerpt:

Code:

Sep 20 23:44:49 hxxxx /usr/sbin/cron[663]: (root) WRONG INODE INFO (crontabs/root)

I think you're running Debian. There must be a file /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root. Copy the contents from it, delete that file, and then recreate it simply by running

Code:

crontab -e

as root and pasting the contents of the old file into it. That should solve the problem.

after following your instructions how can I check if its ok now besides looking into my logfiles for that crontab entry I had before?

I do not really trust my vi editing abilities and unforunately thats the editor crontab calls ;-) although I guess I could change that too.
