[ale] Starting ftpd-ssl in Ubuntu-8.04

[John Mills]

Brian -

Thanks for the help.

I found neither a running instance of 'inetd' nor anything listening on 
FTP's network port. ['hardy' (8.04) seems to provide 'inetd' rather than 
'xinetd'.]

I then started 'inetd' manually and FTP service came up. I guess I need an 
'inetd' entry in '/etc/init.d'. If I can't find an example somewhere in 
the docs, I'll do a bit of surgery on the 'xinetd' version used in more 
recent releases.

Actually I do plan to configure some firewall rules, so that will probably 
bring on my next questions.

Clearly I need to learn my way around Ubuntu (and by extension, Debian) 
documentation. Pointers always welcomed.
