When you use xinetd you edit the file /etc/xinetd.d/proftp-xinetd file
and there is no need for doing the kill -1... thingy.
The config files inthe xinetd.d directory are pretty simple to work out.
They have lines such as:
disable = yes
Not surprisingly all you need to do is change that to 'no' and then ftp
to your box. The only gotcha I have encountered is the config file had
two lines with 'disable ='. I changed one and didn't notice the other
was still set to 'yes'.
