Try logging into it via terminal : ftp mydomain.com
You should see a message like this : 220 ns1 FTP server (Version wu-2.6.1(1)
Sun Apr 29 15:25:40 MDT 2001) ready.:::
If you are running the Wu. If you don't then you are aren't.
next off - you are right about two ftp's - but instead look under webmin's
Servers/Extended services and look up the ftp services - you will see two -
one is kerberos-ftpd - turn it off.
xinetid starts ftpd when it is called for - it only runs when someone taps
on port 21. It does not run in standalone mode.
