 In /etc/proftpd.conf, put the line 'ServerType inetd' to make the ftp
server non-standalone. Then, to add a service to xinetd,  simply add a
file to /etc/xinetd.d. I called my proftpd, and its contents follow:
--start--
service ftp
{
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= root
id  = ftp
server  = /usr/sbin/proftpd
}
--end--

 Note that I just examined the other files in that directory and kludged
this together. If anyone has a more authoritative word or better idea,
please let us all know.

Cheers
Kevin

Hi,

Has anyone configured the xinetd service to run proftpd. The documentation
states the use of inetd but no xinetd. If anyone has configured it please
let me know how.

Cheers
