There ARE other ftpds (ProFTPd, in the ports, comes to mind) that can be run as a standalone daemon. (i.e., not from inetd). If you find yourself in this boat now or later, then you WOULD want to do something similar to what you outline below (the exact syntax will vary): > #/usr/libexec/ftpd -lS > > Would I stop with > #kill HUP ftpd #then run the above to restart? > > I know, pretty basic....but...still unsure....
