    As per subject line I'm a new user (OK knoppix hd install) trying to
    enable ftp for some local file transfer. tried update-inetd --enable ftp
    which changed the file but netstat doesn't show it listening. Further
    exploration showed inetd not running. Started it. disabled ftp then
    enabled it again -- still nothing listening on port 21. Man page says it
    will restart inetd.

    What have I done wrong? (And as a long-time slackware user, what does
    update-inetd bring to the party that 'vi inetd.conf'; 'killall -HUP'
    inetd doesn't?)

    Thanks.

    John
