I tried that already, and it doesn't work.

I think the above is the right thing to do, and I incorperated similar lines
in my /etc/ftpaccess file, then I executed ftpshut now to bring down my ftp
server so I could bring it back up with new the settings. Only now I can't get
ftpd back up. I type ftpd and I get "command not found." I reboot, and still
no ftp server. What did I screw up and how do I get the server back?

Thanks
