Don't change the default ftp port number in /etc/services -- instead
add your own line, eg:
mycustomftp 6021/tcp
Then add a line lie so into /etc/inetd.conf:
mycustomftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/ftpd =
ftpd -l
and restart inetd:
# kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`
Note that this may well result in port 6020 being used for the FTP
data channel -- you'll need to make sure your firewall rules permit
that.
Cheers,
Matthew
