I recently upgraded from slink to potato. At some point, my inetd.conf file got "#<off>#" prepended to the ftp line, disabling it. A comment at the top of inetd.conf says "Lines starting with ... "#<off>#" should not be changed unless you know what you are doing!"
As I have apparently have no idea what I'm doing, I figured I'd ask here before uncommenting-out the line. What's the deal? - Kris
