Hi
When You have this line in inetd.conf ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd vsftpd
And You reboot (or do "rcinetd restar" as root), this change comes into effect.
If You have enable the inetd for that runlevel, it is waiting for connections.
Actually inetd daemon sees the connection request, looks for what port is that request made (have a look at /etc/services), then looks if there is a server configure in inetd.conf to serve that request (service-name from /etc/services). If so, it start it... In this case with command "/usr/sbin/tcpd vsftpd".

Thanks but still no luck. It says Install the package, enable inetd to run it,. . . I have the following line in etc/inetd.conf ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd vsftpd and I have rebooted. What I don't understand is the 'enable inetd to run it. How do I get inetd to run it plese? Steve.
