How to start ftp service gssftp on Redhat.

I'm trying to start the ftp service on a new Redhat install.  I found the following in /etc/xinetd.d
gssftp  
 I edited the file by changing the  'disable         = yes' from yes to NO.
[root@xinetd.d]# vi gssftp
# default: off
# description: The kerberized FTP server accepts FTP connections \
#              that can be authenticated with Kerberos 5.
service ftp
{
        flags           = REUSE
        socket_type     = stream
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/kerberos/sbin/ftpd
        server_args     = -l -a
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        disable         = NO
}

Now when I try to start the service I get the 'unrecognized service' error message. I've tried the following.

service gssftp start
service ftp start
service xinetd start

I always get the "unrecognized service" error message.  What am I missing??

Thanks.
