Do what you did to turn 'em off. :-) Also, you can re-run "setup"
from a console prompt as root and select "system services." Here's
where you configure what starts up automagically.

Hmm....I'm sure there's a reason I'm not aware of. You *do* know that
it makes it more difficult for people to FTP in as most ftp programs
(if not all) default to port 21. That being said, it's probably in
your config file for the ftp server. Go edit that and it should
change ports for you.
