Right -- this is where the problem is.  inetd(8) doesn't understand
'start' as a command line argument.  It's not like the startup scripts
in /usr/local/etc/rc.d -- those are wrappers that start the required
processes themselves, whereas inetd /is/ the required process itself.

Try this:

    # kill 20482
    # /usr/bin/inetd -wWl -R 1024 -c 128

Then you should find your ftp service working OK.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
