I'm no expert, but perhaps I can help a little.
You should not have two ftp entries. If I were you I would install either
proftp or wu-ftp because these are more secure that ftpd. After doing so
check inetd again and make sure that the present lines are commented out.
I have echo and chargen commented out but discard, daytime and time are
functional. I don't know much about them except for the reference in
the man page for inetd.conf:-
Inetd provides several ``trivial'' services internally by use of routines
within itself. These services are ``echo'', ``discard'', ``chargen''
(character generator), ``daytime'' (human readable time), and ``time''
(machine readable time, in the form of the number of seconds since mid
night, January 1, 1900). All of these services are tcp based. For de-
tails of these services, consult the appropriate RFC from the Network In-
formation Center.
Hmmm, maybe I will put echo and chargen back in.
