I blindly added ssh and ftp to the inetd.conf file at install time. Do I need to remove one or both? Is there a place where one can see which (if any daemons need to be started in the old way). It seems to me that if the standard sshd startup has changed then a simple comment in inetd.conf would help to avoid problems for people like me. -- Robin Becker
