[TriLUG] vsftp on Redhat - no xinetd conf file

[Jon Carnes]

True, but my clients don't want it running continuously.  After I saw
the daemon setup, I read the docs again just to be sure and they say to
use inetd or xinetd.

I guess what you are really saying is that RedHat thinks we should run
it as a stand-alone daemon... Then *why* is that better?
