Something related which I'd like to understand Matthew. I don't know what the base install ftpd is as # /usr/libexec/ftpd -V ftpd: illegal option -- V ftpd: unknown flag -V ignored # /usr/libexec/ftpd -v # However I installed wu-ftpd from the ports yesterday and it's in /usr/local/libexec/ftpd so I changed /etc/inetd.conf accordingly and then did kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid` and for laughs (or developing the understanding now that navigating unix is similar to driving in New Jersey) I tried ftp'g into my box w/o first (starting) inetd and I got in, and ps -ax showed inetd running as well. Yet I don't see in the man pages for inetd(8) where any of these options imply automatic restart. Anyhow thanks much. On to my next bonehead problem.
