I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, especially as I've found absolutely nothing on deja about this. I installed vsftp. The man page indicates that you can specify the configuration file on the command line. It also says (and will say if you try to simply start it) that it should be started from inetd or xinetd. Ok, so, I tried leaving the default install--where it puts the config file in /usr/local/etc rather than /etc and adding that to inetd---i.e in the ftp line /usr/local/bin/vsftpd /usr/local/etc/vsftpd.conf I got an error message of too many arguments. I then copied over /usr/local/etc/vsftpd.conf to /etc/vsftpd.conf and got the error message that it couldn't open the specified configuration file. What am I missing here? And please be kind, since as I said, I have the feeling it's something glaringly obvious--probably something I've looked at 10 times on the man page that just hasn't registered.
