Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

aye? I'm not too furmilliar with xinetd, are you sure it would show under ftpd, and not xinet or something? anyway, the best way to check would be to telnet 127.0.0.1 21, and see if you get connected, if not..it's not running..if that's the case look over your vsftpd configuration, I use proftpd, which has a option to either run standalone, or with inetd..if vsftpd has the same option perhaps you should make sure its set on xinetd.
well running it as standalone isn't suggested since it runs under port 1024, it'd have to be ran as root..anyway, yeah..I would think you'd just type `vsftpd` at the command line to start the server, (in stand-alone mode) what was in your xinetd file anyway (the /etc/xinet.d/vsftpd) that's suppose to hold information about the program (executable name, what port it listens on, etc, etc, etc)
