As per subject line I'm a new user (OK knoppix hd install) trying to enable ftp for some local file transfer. tried update-inetd --enable ftp which changed the file but netstat doesn't show it listening. Further exploration showed inetd not running. Started it. disabled ftp then enabled it again -- still nothing listening on port 21. Man page says it will restart inetd.
What have I done wrong? (And as a long-time slackware user, what does update-inetd bring to the party that 'vi inetd.conf'; 'killall -HUP' inetd doesn't?) Thanks.
