Hi Pat,
I wrote this to startup vsftpd. It is not the prettiest script and I
am sure there is a way to do it better but it will give you a start.
Place it in your /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory and make it executable.
#!/bin/sh
echo -n 'vsftpd'
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting vsftpd ..."
/usr/local/sbin/vsftpd &
;;
stop)
echo "Stopping vsftpd ..."
killall vsftpd
;;
*)
echo "Usage: 'basename $0' {start|stop}" >&2
exit 64
;;
esac
exit 0
Hope that helps.

Somewhat, yes. A lot of people don't trust inetd at all, and most of
its advantages can be overcome by just buying a little more memory.
If that's the case, how do I go about getting vsftpd to run when the
machine boots up? It doesn't look like there's a vsftpd_enable that I
can use, like I can with other services.
No, looks like you'll have to write your own startup script.
No big deal -- just look at "man rc".
