Ahh, well now I know why I was having probs finding inetd on my system, lol. Guess I need a newer linux book! I got apache 2.0 compiled and running, but it's not starting up the proper way yet. I was just wanting to set it up as a service so it runs automatically everytime the machine is started. I'll go check out that ftp software as I have not installed any ftp server yet. Thanks for the leads on the linux help sites
