I don't have such a service in Lenny: stt008:~# LANG=POSIX; /etc/init.d/inetd status -su: /etc/init.d/inetd: No such file or directory ("man inetd" provides more info) Anyway, I can't see any good reason for a system restart to make vsftpd starts working. IIRC, Gary was firstly using a standalone profile setting for the daemon ("listen=YES") so restarting the inetd service would have been useless. >> When I found that a >> script for vsftpd had been installed in the rc*.d files I decided to >> see what would happen if I rebooted the system.

Last time I had to setup vsftp (standalone) was plain easy, although at that time I was using openSUSE :-). I only recall problems with Pam in order to setup the virtual users login but nothing overwhelming.
