I don't have such a service in Lenny:
stt008:~# LANG=POSIX; /etc/init.d/inetd status
-su: /etc/init.d/inetd: No such file or directory
("man inetd" provides more info)
Anyway, I can't see any good reason for a system restart to make vsftpd
starts working. IIRC, Gary was firstly using a standalone profile setting
for the daemon ("listen=YES") so restarting the inetd service would have
been useless.

Last time I had to setup vsftp (standalone) was plain easy, although at
that time I was using openSUSE :-). I only recall problems with Pam in
order to setup the virtual users login but nothing overwhelming.
