Re: ftpd

["Robert L. Yelvington" <rly@sciresearch.com>]

the "ftp" at the beginning of the line is the service name as defined in
/etc/services...I think someone else already stated that.

the "daemon" name or service name to use in your allow/deny files in
your case is "in.ftpd".

try it again with "in.ftpd" and i'll bet you a brew it'll work! (sam
adams please!)

whatever "daemon" name is listing in /etc/inetd.conf should be used in
the allow/deny files.  so, you'll also have to
add "in.ftpd" to your hosts.allow file.
