When inetd detects a connection on port 21 (per /etc/services), it launches ftpd. You can see if it's working by simply typing 'ftp localhost'. You should get: $> ftp localhost Connected to localhost.zoomtel.com 220 localhost.zoomtel.com FTP server (Version 6.00) ready. Name (localhost:gordonm): Or something similar. Login in on a virtual terminal (ALT-F2) and do a `ps -ax | grep ftpd` and you should see something like: 534 ??
