[Tfug] standalone server

Some FTP servers can be configured to run either as a stand alone server
or through inetd.  You have xinetd listening on port 21.  So you need to
resolve the conflict of running ftpd through xinetd or as a stand alone
service.

In this situation I'd probably lean towards the xinetd solution so that
you don't have ftpd sitting as an idle daemon using memory while not in
use.
