Boa and ProFTPd from inetd?

[atallam@ucdavis.edu]

Hi all!

I was wondering if somebody could tell me what I have to do to get these
services to run properly from inetd?  (Apparently they don't bother to
configure themselves in the least for it!)

I tried manually adding a line to my inetd.conf file, (and then killall -1
inetd), which didn't seem to work.  (It solved the Connect refused, but not
I get Service not available.)  At least for proftpd, there was an example
line included, which I tried:

ftp stream tcp nowait root      /usr/sbin/proftpd proftpd

I also tried using lines which looked like those that were there, eg,
/usr/sbin/tcpd instead of proftpd (as the first arg, of course.)  But,
neither seems to work.  (They both seem to give the same response.)

Any help/info would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

(And please cc replies to me, as I'm not currently subscribed to the mailing
list.  How come nobody uses the ngs btw?  (Well, let me try! ;))

(And yes, I tried similar lines with boa.. but just get 503s.. And yes, I
removed (just did 'cd /etc/init.d ; mkdir tmp; mv boa proftpd tmp') these
two services, since I so infrequently need them I don't want them (or much
else, especially not tamad (Ohh no!! ;)) running all the time..)

Thanks!
