Simply uncomment this line in /etc/inetd.conf: #ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l and make sure you have inetd enabled - default is to enable it, with the flags `-wW' (see /etc/defaults/rc.conf for many more options to set). You will need to restart inetd if you change the config file. Easiest way to do this is: # kill -HUP `cat /var/un/inetd.conf` > in a related question, does freeBSD use TCP_WRAPPERS or something > else. The `-wW' flags activate TCP wrappers. TCP wrappers is integrated into inetd, and you do not need to run tcpd, as under some other systems. > 3) is there a link to a tutorial or listing of differences between SysV and > freeBSD ? I'm afraid I don't know of any, but there must be loads of them out there.
