i've compiled and install vsftpd
how do i start it?

this guide says to
'service vsftpd start'

but it says unknown service vsftpd
why are you compiling vsftpd on a rpm based distro?
why not?
also
they dont have /etc/inetd.conf like they used to

if i run the binary it says
must be started from inetd
why not?

cause you are on a rpm based distro.. use the pre-build package
i dont see how it'll help me
but i'll try it

then it'll put in the startup script so you can run service vsftpd start

nm i got it running in stand lone mode now
just had to configure it

the option wasn't in the example config for some reason …
thanks
