There was a time when it all seemed so clear. Go to /etc/inetd.config and add the line
ftp stream tcp nowait root /etc/ftpd ftpd

Sadly there is no /etc/inetd.config , and I have a feeling that if I go ahead and create it, I'm going to need more in it than one line.
I've got two machines here connected to my router, and I can ping 'em, the network is all up an running. What do I need to do to get the ftp daemon running?
I don't have a good reason for wanting to do this. I just think it's cool

Doesn't RH 7 use xinetd now instead of inetd?

you probably have wu-ftp install. scan your computer before installation another ftpserver.

As chance would have it, there is an xinetd.d directory. The only file in it is linuxconf-web. This is not an executable. Just a text file.
