Brian,
Make sure that "ServerType" is set to inetd - then place this information
into a "ftp" file in the /etc/xinetd.d/ folder:
service ftp
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.proftpd
}
Then restart xinetd.
That will well xinetd to listen on the ftp port and launch proftpd when a
request comes in for it.
It will be available all the time and proftpd will be launched (by xinetd)
when it's needed.
