VSFTD

I downloaded VSFTP and ran the make install, everything extracted fine and the vsftpd was loaded into /usr/local/sbin/ and the config was loaded in to /etc

I have edited the /etc/vsftpd.conf, listen=YES and ran the command /usr/local/sbin/vsftpd &

If i run: ftp localhost, i can login with my user details. Now what process is this "standalone"?
If i want the ftp server to start from boot from what i read i have to edit the inetd.conf line

# Very Secure File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server.
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd vsftpd and then run /etc/rc.d/rc.inetd restart.

I have tried this but it doesnt seem to work, can anyone see what i'm doing wrong?

You need to use in /etc/inetd.conf:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/sbin/vsftpd
