I wanted to use a simple ftp server so I installed vsftp. I checked my /etc/inetd.conf file and see the following line:
#<disabled>#ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/vsftpd I have never done this before, but I assumed that I needed to tell inetd to start vsftp. So as root I typed: update-inetd --verbose --enable vsftp and I got the response: Processing /etc/inetd.conf THe problem was that nothing changed in the inetd.conf file. There was still the '#<disabled># line. So I tried: update-inetd --verbose --enable ftp which also didn't change anything. Am I confused in thinking I need to have this line changed from 'disabled' to 'enabled' in order for inetd to startup vsftpd? If I'm completely confused and need to do something else, please let me know. I read the vsftpd.conf man page, but nowhere does it really say how to get things up and running.
