Of course, you didn't forget to send a HUP signal to inetd after you
changed it's inetd.conf file:

	# killall -hup inetd

You should be able to verify if an ftpd daemon is running and listening
for clients, by looking at the output of netstat:

	% netstat -naf inet
	Active Internet connections (including servers)
	Proto Recv-Q Send-Q  Local Address          Foreign Address        (state)
	tcp4       0      0  *.25                   *.*                    LISTEN
	tcp4       0      0  *.21                   *.*                    LISTEN

The second LISTEN line, the one listening on local port 21, is the ftpd
daemon (or inetd if you use inetd to launch ftp servers) listening for
incoming connections.

Ciao,
Giorgos.
