The part about not be able to connect to the net was true, though. I thought emerging ftpd would be my salvation but that doesn't work either. How do you start the bleeping thing. I even ran /usr/sbin/ftpd; it didn't gag but it didn't start either. And there's supposed to be a whole whack of files under /etc/. Nope. I found xinet.conf but don't have a clue on how to edit it. Then there's this. That 'disable' looks ominous. Should that be set to 'no'? What about 'protocol'? What should go there?
