Subject: xinetd problem

Installed redhat 7.0 to discover that inetd.conf has been replaced by this
crazy xinetd scheme.  I didn't install ftp by default but have seence been
implored to make that happen (obviously I failed to some extent).  

I first adjusted my ipchains rules to allow connections to port 21, then
started the ftp deamon.  I seem to still be having a problem with xinetd
allowing connections.  In /var/log/messages I see:

  Nov  3 08:30:44 darwin xinetd[4243]: refused connect from 140.142.15.106

after an ftp connection attempt.  Here is my xinetd.conf:

	defaults
	{
	        instances               = 60
	        log_type                = SYSLOG authpriv
	        log_on_success          = HOST PID
	        log_on_failure          = HOST RECORD
	}

	includedir /etc/xinetd.d

Here are the contents of /etc/inetd.d/wu-ftpd

	service ftp
	{
	        socket_type             = stream
	        wait                    = no
	        user                    = root
	        server                  = /usr/sbin/in.ftpd
	        server_args             = -l -a
	        log_on_success          += DURATION USERID
	        log_on_failure          += USERID
	        nice                    = 10
	}

I'd imagine I'm just missing something simple here.  Darn this fancy new
scheme and it's differing ways.  

Any help apreciated,

Parker.
