Looks like it is.

Just some garbage about sound modules - nothing pertinent to telnet...

I tried to run /usr/sbin/in.ftpd explicitly (using the command from
/etc/inetd.conf), but it wouldn't "stick" - it doesn't show up in ps -ef
afterwards:

[root@paarestad pma]# /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -l -a
[root@paarestad pma]# ps -ef | grep ftpd
root      7762  7746  0 22:44 pts/0    00:00:00 grep ftpd
[root@paarestad pma]#

And when I try to just do a straight-up ftp:

[pma@paarestad rc5.d]$ ftp localhost
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
ftp>

There is an ftp line in /etc/inetd.conf:

ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.ftpd -l -a

Any other config files I should check?
