If you upgraded your install of potato sometime after then, you won't have ftpd anymore. You can reinstall that particular ftpd (the one from netbase) by installing the ftpd package. Or you can go with something else, like wu-ftpd* or proftpd, depending on your needs. As for where ftpd starts from, it's normally started by inetd when it's needed. Check out /etc/inetd.conf and look for an entry containing ftpd. -- [ Matthew Gregan ] [ GPG ID: B63A1E95 ] [ kinetik@ihug.co.nz ] [ GPG fingerprint: FB83 2911 F170 B31C 9E4A E382 CA8A A2F6 B63A 1E95 ]
