I'm having a similar problem... even though I know how to start it up in inetd... I would like to try it out on xinetd...
I have a xinetd folder... and it has one thing in it... but when I try the "service xinetd restart" command... it says unreconized service... so there is no xinetd starting up...

Rep:
I use Redhat Distro
Check in the /etc/rc.d/init.d folder, is there's a file xinetd ??
It should be there...
I have proftpd running fine, and automatically at boot. However, I did have the same problem... It was a problem with proftpd itself, check the log files (messages) for any errors...
It depends on your distro, but you can usually find an rc.local file on any distro. If you place the full path to the proftpd binary (/usr/sbin/proftpd probably) that file will execute it during startup. You can verify it's running by using:
ps aux | grep ftp
And it should reveal proftpd and it's pid.
If I knew windoze I could tell ya Lucky for me I didn't waste my time mastering it, figured out how worthwhile my time would be spent learning something better, and bam! I'm here
