This is pretty simple:
- Edit the /etc/services file and change ftp/21 to whatever port you want
say 8654. Do NOT renumber port 20.
- Run a "ps aux | grep inetd" and get the process ID (PID) of ident
- Run "kill -HUP #" where # is the PID
Thats it.. it will reload Inetd and then respond to FTP requests on port 8654
NOTE: Many firewalls out there expect to see FTP traffic on ports < 1024.
Because of this, you will find that FTP might not work properly.

This is true. :) The solution is to use a simple loop in your
/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall
ruleset. Say you want to portfw ICQ ports 2000-2020 and:
$extip is set as your external IP address
$fwip is set as your to-be-forwarded address
--
i=2000
while [ $i -lt 2021 ]
do
/usr/local/sbin/ipportfw -A -t$extip/$i -R $fwip/$i
export i=`expr $i + 1`
done
--
I beleive this can be done cleaner in a FOR loop but I just whipped this out.
