havn't got an xinetd file for vsftpd, so i am guesing it is running as standalone and controlled from xinetd, or did you mean to controll the overall connections from xinetd.conf by changing the defualt from 60 to something else?
instances = 10 for example
exellent looking resource, linuxplanet..
/me new to all this :S

sorry, but i didn't feel that helped me, being a bit new to all this linux stuff, just copied and pasted other website, i am still at a loss as to why there is no vsftpd file in the xinetd.d directory. So I decided to do my homework first and learn all about xinetd (i think my installation of it is not right)
Soooo this was my first go on this "forum" and not sure how it all works, didn't mean to offend .After (re) reading the "how do i know what grade to give" h
thing I should of given you the chance to sort out the area of my misunderstanding with xinetd, apologies..

okie no problem. i understand your things.

good luck.
