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
